It would appear that I have a mild case of post partum depression. I say mild because I was also afflicted with this after my 4th daughter and very narrowly survived the ordeal but not before my husband and I both lost our jobs, needless to say it was some very dark times. What never ceases to amaze me about this disease is that your are seemingly fine one minute and a homicidal maniac the next. Below is a prime example. The scene is I just get on the phone with my mother with whom I have not spoken to for a couple weeks. The temperature is nearing 100. At this time I wish to thank heavenly father for Central air. Anyway here is the story.
me: "Hi mom, you called?" Kaitlyn comes running in with friend.
Kaitlyn: "Mom! There is two solicitations at the door." Solicitations?? This can't be good.
me: "ugh gimme a break" I walk to the front door which these two lug heads are now fanning and letting in the hot air.
me: "are you two selling something? Because I'm busy"
solicitor #1: "well we can wait for you to finish your phone call"
me: "OK, well I'm busy but thanks anyway"
Solicitor #1: "well we need to tell you about this and what all your neighbors aye saying"
me: "I could care less about what my neighbors are saying, I am busy" at this point I'm still relatively calm
solicitor #1: "well just finish your call, we'll wait" And then it happened, out of nowhere I totally lost it.
me: "I SAID I'M EFFING BUSY!! GO AWAY!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? TAKE AN EFFING HINT!" And then I slammed the door but not before I caught a glimpse of Kaitlyn and friend's astonished faces. Crimony! Why is there ALWAYS a witness to my bad behavior?
me: "sorry ladies that was a bit of a slip on my behalf, never act like me!! never!"
What is with these solicitors? Do they have a death wish. Pay attention you nasty bottom feeders, I don't want a demonstration of your crappy Kirby vacuum, NO I would not like to see how amazing your miracle cleaner is, and NO i wont purchase your magazines so that you may go to college, I didn't go to college and look how FINE and PROSPEROUS I am!

There was a kirby guy harrassing me for almost 2 weeks. I kept trying to blow him off but he wasn't taking the hints. Finally I left a note. Luckily I haven't seen him since.
