The Nutsy Fagan Diaries

Shouldn't there be more of a pay off?

Lifelong, constant physical shit?  Or shaving once a day and better paying jobs?  If I had to decide this minute, I'd be going with shaving and cash.  Yes, I got to have the babies.  And that IS huge.  And that's why if I had time to think about it, I'd be a woman.  And I do get to stay home now while my husband works.  That is totally on my side.

But on the other hand, can you imagine NEVER searching for a tampon?  Never having cramps?  Taking Advil only for headaches?  Your jeans always fitting?  Shaving about 1/16 of what you shave now?  No hot flashes, no bras, no panty hose, no high heels?  SHIT!!  Never sitting on a wet toilet seat?  Never waiting on line to pee?  No stretch marks, no infected nipples.  I swear to God, God, I know two women who had vericose vaginas during pregnancy, for God's sake.  They had to wear the modern day version of a chastity belt so that they could sort of walk.  Can you imagine if men had to wear underwear with hooks on them?  Never mind that I had to work my ass off at my job where I was twice as good as the dude before me and he made more money.  What's up with that? 

I guess I was hit extra hard this month.  I'm not feeling good.  I want to go to a bakery and eat it.  If only I had a bag (or two) of some Wise salt and vinegar chips...  This too shall pass.  Just felt like making someone share my misery.
