Lesson From Car Talk
I know you know exactly what I’m feeling. You understand those 3 weeks in the middle of the month, when you’re waiting? You try not to think about it, you try not to count the days, you try not to count the months out. You spend all your energy trying not to think about it, because you know you’re going to be disappointed in, oh, give or take, 2 weeks.
I was listining to Car Talk the other day, and they talked about this funny car selling advertisement a listener had come across. The advertisement was this: [I don’t remember the exact vehicle, but here goes]: “1996 Plymouth Voyager for sale. I would rather drive a railroad spike through my face than drive this car for another month.”
You know what I’m talking about. I don’t have to say another word. I’m sorry that you have had to go through this, or are going through this. It hurts, but you know exactly how I’m feeling, when most people don’t. You completely understand how we’d like to take that 1996 Plymouth voyager, pitch it off the side of a cliff, and then set it on fire with some industrial strength fireworks.
You pick out the fireworks, sisters, and I’ll bring plenty of matches.
*BOOM!*

Isn’t that kinda the way some parents talk about their kids? “I’m going to sell them on eBay if they keep carrying on like that!” Where’s the ‘Buy It Now’ button when parents say things like that?

So amazing to have a glimpse into your world - My heart aches for you both…I have not personally been through the depth of infertility that you all have, but I have definitely experienced the depression, anxiety, weight struggles, and the list could go on. Just know that you have someone in AZ praying for you and that if you ever want to chat about some of these issues - I always have open ears and an open heart! The cry of my heart is for women to be able to be truly open and honest about life struggles and the sheer challenges of all of these issues that come with being an “adult”. It was great to chat briefly the other day!
