Damn Coupon June 3, 2004

I ran over to the grocery store to pick up a few snacks (ie. I needed chocolate.) Well, you know those store coupons that print out automatically based on what you buy? Apparently the customer in front of me had one of those print out while he was checking out, but for some reason the cashier didn’t give it to him. She gave it to me instead. I thought, cool, a free coupon until I took a closer look. It was for baby formula. Just what I needed, another reminder that I’m childless.

I’m really trying not to let these type of things get to me lately. I just can’t seem to shake the gut reaction I get when something like this happens. Sometimes it makes me sad, but today, and quite often, it just pisses me off.

On the premise that I’m trying to “be a bigger person” or whatever, I actually stopped on TLC’s A Baby Story today while flipping channels. I haven’t watched this show since the infertility demon came to live at our house. I used to enjoy it, but that’s when I had hope that I would get pregnant like the rest of the world does. You know, have sex at the right time for a few months in a row, and bam- your pregnant. Ha! Anyway, today I was going to try and watch it. That resolve lasted about 2 minutes until the pregnant woman featured on the show started talking about how she freaked out (not in a good way) when she found out she was pregnant. You know, the extremely fertile type person who gets pregnant “before they’re ready.” I just couldn’t handle it and switched channels. I guess that pissed off reaction isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
