I'm having a white man's baby! and other crazy rants



Did I mention that I felt great? Great also means um, combative and warrior-like. Yeah. Ever since I found out that the future resides within me, I have taken on a new alter-ego known as Warrior-Mama. Every injustice, every ignorant comment sets me fuming and my claws come out. Watch out racist pigs, better hide, evil doers, I'll kick your scrawny ass, satan worshipping rocker dudes! Trying to make this a better world for my kid means changing it, one idiot at a time. And if that idiot happens to be the future uncle of the luvbaby, so be it!

So I said, that you guys were the only ones other than me and the luvman to know of my condition--well that sorta changed 8 weeks into the situation when my dearest brother made a flippant remark about how its better to date within ones own race. Rrrroar! Did my talons come swooping down onto the poor guy. Now, he's no racist in any sense and he is a wonderful brother and guy. But boy was I steaming pissed partly due to raging hormones-- so did I just sit there and nod agreeably? Hell no. I called him a few names (@#*%'ing pig? maybe) and said in a most dramatic fashion at dinner with my brother, his girlfriend, my mom, and my sister... (now picture sheer drama....) I said, "well I'm pregnant with a white mans baby and I'm going to have a half-breed!!" Ha! Pig!

I ran out of the restaurant, still fuming, and my poor family came out cracking up and wondering if I have gone mad. I started laughing too. Who wouldn't, I mean talk about confessions of a preggo drama queen. Yes, I sheepishly admitted, I'm knocked up. More laugher ensued. I had to make sure they keep it a secret since I had told the luvman we weren't telling until my next appointment, still 4 weeks away from that time. So many secrets! I can't bear it much longer!!

So aside from feeling like an earth mother goddess most days, the others are spent fighting the good fight! Hoping to make this world a better place for my luvbaby, which includes complaining to media/radio stations if they make racist remarks, trying to stop global warming, bringing peace to the middle-east, you know, I got a lot of work cut out for me.
