Today's Adventure

You know how sometimes things just happen and you find yourself in the weirdest situations? Well, about 20 min. ago I was leaving my mom's house--the house I grew up in since I was 3. Wait--I need to back up a bit--I must begin by telling you that I am overly emotional right now having stopped the birth control pills on Sun. after only 9 days and am now having estrogen withdrawls or something. I have been snippy and irritated at everything and everyone over the last 24 hours.
Ok, back to my story. I am getting in my car in the pouring rain and I hear, "Hello Stranger!" from down the street. I look to see a 'friend' that I have known since my parents moved there in 1977. This 'friend' used to lock me inside the gate so I couldn't leave; I would scream to my mom down the street but of course she never heard me. The louder I screamed the more excited her dog would get and the dog would start humping me as I curled up into a crying ball on the grass. The dog was a female for crying out loud!!!
Anyway, this 'friend' is standing in the street holding a perfect, tiny, baby girl. IN THE RAIN!! Just standing there. I think she may have been getting the mail for her grandmother who lives there. I start to drive down the street and of course have to at least stop and wave since I haven't seen her in about 7 years. I unroll the window to attempt to fake a happy, "Hi, I'm not infertile, let me see your perfect baby!" I have myself totally psyched up for it.
She reaches down into my car and PUTS THE BABY IN THE PASSENGER SEAT! Oh, I can not tell you how close I came to just flooring it and leaving the state. I smile at her and ask her name. I ask the mother if I can have her. Ha ha, he he, I AM SERIOUS. She says, "Good luck breastfeeding her!" Heeeeelllllooooooo, there is this great stuff called formula!!! I actually pick the baby up--something I NEVER do-- and hold her. She smiles and laughs while I talk baby talk to her--something else I NEVER do. I just wanted to die.
She is right, I will have problems breastfeeding IF I ever even get the chance to be a mother this through surrogacy. I just felt so empty. I handed the baby back to her mother who then told me that her oldest is 13 and she has another one that is 5. Wow.
I am off to acupuncture in a few minutes and boy, do I need it. I haven't slept in 2 nights. I just lay there with my mind racing all night long. I am hoping she has some advice or herbs or something!
So, that is my adventure of the day. Anybody else have a good one to share?
