And at the doctor’s later Tuesday, I’ll lose my protected species status July 14, 2008

trackback
Tuesday, July 15 marks two mediocre but counted milestones … On one hand, six weeks from the Tuesday I gave birth; on the other hand, it’s now one week to the day I go back to work.
Well. Hot dog.
To celebrate the former’s relationship to the latter, I headed out after my Lean Cuisine dinner to spend a small fortune on bigger-sized “real people” clothes. I reasoned I could stomach returning to work easier if I weren’t sporting the same three outfits I waddled out of the office in June 2. Grabbing my debit card back from the cashier, though, I was mentally tallying how many cans of Nutramigen I could’ve bought instead of those larger-sized pants … that’s about three weeks’ worth of formulaic caviar, if you were keeping track at home.
Later tonight, however, I realized while folding that last pair of stretchy-waisted pants and stuffing them into the Rubbermaid container that the freedom I now felt by more restrictive pants can’t be replenished by any amount of Nutramigen bought with cash.
At least that’s what I’m gonna keep telling myself.
Anyhow. More on my loss of what I call my “protected species status” tomorrow …
I think I get it.
And if I do…are there thoughts of another Wasinger already???
Kidding, kidding. Don’t shoot me.
I don’t get it.
:: Mandy, tell me, thanks ::
If the Nutimigen works (I am keeping my fingers crossed), you can find some good deals online.
Here’s one I found. Haven’t done business with them before, so I can’t recommend or not recommend. But the prices look good.
Good luck and glad you had an evening to find sanity and a break.
Hugs for Alice-
