There's a teacher that I just can't stand to be around... She actually a very nice person and a great teacher. She's been nothing but sweet to me. Why do I avoid her room when possible?
Let me backtrack... So this past Weds (day after our negative bloodwork - just to give you an idea where my brain was) I was at school talking to a couple of teachers. We were discussing a child and his home situation. (Not a good one...) I honestly don't even remember how the comment came to be, but one of the teachers said to me (very innocently, I'm sure)... "Oh...when you have your own kids, I'm sure you'll understand..." It really took all of my energy not to wrap my hands around her neck and sqeeeeze. It also took a lot to make it to the bathroom before the tears came.
Again, this teacher was not at all trying to me mean or anything...she genuinely (I'm sure) had no idea how much the comment hurt. I know I have to get over it...I'm just not there yet. What's the AA saying? "Please God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can...and the wisdom to know the difference..." Yup...that seems appropriate these days...
On another note...I started Clomid this morning. Let the hotflashes (my only real side effect last time...) begin!
I know how you feel. I seem to get these comments all the time. It is like people can't credit us with any kind of empathy or awareness because we don't have children - yet what they say shows how little empathy and awareness they have. Arghhh!
