About Angela

My name is Angela, but I answer to Ang, Andrea, and Mommy. I am 42 years old, but somehow feel both 26 and 149. Sometimes at the same time. I love Jesus, but hate at least 2/3rds of the humans He created. I consider myself a good wife but a lousy housekeeper. I love being a mother but don’t particularly like children. Quality time and sarcasm are my Love Languages. Yes! You absolutely can drop by, provided you give me 15 minutes to panic-clean and put on pants. I know that 1 in every 33 births result in multiples. I know that gap narrows to 1 in 12 for subsequent pregnancies. I know this is why my tubes are cut, burned, and tied. Not today, Satan. I can recite the entire script of The Princess Bride, (including accents) and believe that the meaning of life is contained within. Birth stories, theDodo.com, and Soldiers-returning-home videos make me happy-ugly-cry. Being interrupted, a poorly made bed, and that Christmas Shoes song make me want to punch somebody. I’m an extrovert with crushing social anxiety. To deal with stress, I crack jokes. They will be awkward and make the situation 10x worse. I can whistle and hum at the same time, but I cannot touch my toes. I look grand in orange, red, and pink, but rubbish in yellow and blue. I am a writer. I have a dog named Henri. I have a brother named Adam. They are not related. I am slightly neurotic. No I’m not. Yes I am.

      • It’s fortunate you don’t mind off-key singing. It’s the only kind I manage — of course with a shower as an accompaniment, I sound much better!

        Are you having morning sickness?

      • Everyone DOES sound better in the shower. Must be the acoustics.

        And yes, to the morning sickness. All day sickness, really, though the throwing up seems to confine itself to mornings and evening. The nausea, however, JUST. WON’T. STOP.

        Excuse me while I go find some club soda. It’s my friend.

      • I think you’re quite right about the shower. It’s probably the water and the tile or something.

        I completely emphathize. I had all day sickness with my first pregnancy. I discovered that if I ate melba toast and a glass of really icy milk first thing in the morning, I was able to avoid throwing up. When I got out of bed before I ate it I was screwed! Even with that, I was still nauseated most of the time. I do hope you find whatever it is which works for you. And you might want to lay in stock on that club soda!
