If I Have To Put My Drink Down One More Time! (Page 1)

I am not a doctor or a nurse.  In fact, I barely even passed biology in the 10th grade.  Although that wasn’t entirely my fault because Mr. Kantakis spit when he talked so I had to sit in the back of the room, and everyone knows it’s harder to dissect a fetal pig in the back of the room.  However, I have been to the doctor’s office before, and there was a nurse there, so when I discuss medical issues you can feel pretty confident they’re based on facts.  Or they’re based on an episode of The Facts of Life, but for sure one of the two. 

As the mother of a premature child, born at 32 weeks, I have acquired experience and information the tax paying public should be aware of.  First of all, they should be aware their taxes are due on April 15th.  Secondly, they should be aware that nothing will get them better service anywhere than running through the halls of a hospital yelling, “Thirty-two weeks!  Thirty-two weeks!”  By the swift attention I received you would’ve thought I said, “Hurry!  I just rented 9 ½ Weeks!” 

My son, Crusher, was born very unexpectedly during the 2004 World Series, the first one the Boston Red Sox won since David slew Goliath with a fastball high and inside.  So as you can see, World Series cause prematurity. 

Crusher is now almost three-years-old and we’re very fortunate he’s as healthy as a horse.  It helps that he’s got such a great vet.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I’ve decided to start rambling on and on in some sort of sequential order beginning with Crusher's birth.  Except for on days when I decide to ramble out of order.  Entries titled “If I Have To Put My Drink Down One More Time!” are part of my  little writing project to help keep me entertained.  It’s satirical.  It’s only based on truth.  In real life, I’ve killed far fewer people.  I’m so excited about making fun of my kids in chronological order that I’ve even started a "If I Have To Put My Drink Down One More Time!” link in the column on the left where all of these entries will be posted in order.  Some people would’ve been able to figure out how to do that in less than three hours.  Some people are losers.
