Honesty is the best policy...right?

Ok, the title is hyperbolic. But I still think the point of this blog is for Intended M and I to be honest and understand our feelings about lots of different things. That said, IM is likely to be pissed or disappointed or annoyed with me for this one.

We're going on a trip in 3 weeks or so to a so-called "developing country". Intended M decided to start birth-control-pills so she doesn't have to deal with having her period in an uncomfortable situation. It makes sense and I understand her point.

The weird thing is that I find it frustrating*. It's so stupid. We are literally getting our fingerprints taken today in order to jump through one of the adoption hoops** and I'm finding myself frustrated because IM is going to be on BCPs for the next month and so there is absolutely no chance of her getting pregnant in the next month and likely a month after that. Crazy! We've been doing the naughty unprotected for YEARS and I still get frustrated when she's on BCPs? Really? I also get frustrated when we can't seem to do the nasty when she is likely ovulating. Again, really? It also used to happen when she took BCPs to ramp up to an IVF cycle. What do I think is going to happen? A miracle? I think it's pretty much evident through examples all over the world and in our own lives that miracles do not exist. It's pathetic.

* I also find myself sad and frustrated when IM starts her period. Honestly, it's pathetic. I just have one of those personalities such that if something is not literally impossible then I think there is a chance. It may be a 1 in a million chance but it's a chance. I'm like fricken Lloyd Christmas, "so you're telling me there's a chance."

** A quick question to all you mothers out there that gave birth the old fashioned way. Did the state and federal government take your fingerprints and do a criminal background check on you before you were allowed to take the baby home?
