birth control

It was bound to happen considering the current evangelical Christian movement.  Not only is Roe v Wade history striking a blow for women's rights.  But now?  Our POTUS wants to give people money to have more babies.  "Have five or six!"  We will teach you in school about menstrual cycles and how to get pregnant at just the right time in your cycle.  More or less.  So, umm.  Considering the current economic climate who can afford to raise that many kids?  My husband and I could barely afford to raise one on our very hefty salaries back in the 80s and 90s.  We didn't think that I could get pregnant, but I did and she is a joy.  She also gave birth to one daughter and that was plenty.  More and more often I see The Handmaid's Tale becoming reality.  Only now Canada won't let us in because of you know who.  As we say in the south, "How niiiice."

I will cease and desist with arguing on the internet with trolls who have nothing to say but insults.  Y'all go ahead and help to form Gilead into a solid state.  See where that gets you, umkay?  Empty store shelves and people hanging on the wall.  If you have not read this book or seen the series, it is a serious mind blowing experience.  I have no idea where they are now because I no longer can afford Hulu.  Or Netflix.  That kind of stuff adds up!

I distinctly remember Lauren's first grade teacher telling me that she said that the comma "looked like a sperm."  That was because I began educating her early on about how babies are born.  The school didn't do that for me.  It was mom on daughter talk at an appropriate age.  Which, IMHO, should be sooner rather than later.  

The tractors and mowers have been running full steam ahead the past couple of days.  My hottie yard mowing guy showed up yesterday for the first cut of my weedy yard.  As much rain as we have had, with more coming, he will have to visit again before corporate arrives.    Such is life.  He loves me like his Mama.  

Y'all keep it in the middle of the road.  And always, keep the faith ^j^
