I really didn't think I'd be using this as a topic for this blog. When mister mrtl finally got home last night (stupid and long meetings scheduled after 12-hour shifts... the Air Force is torturing its airmen), I told him about my malady, specifically telling him that I wasn't going to blog about it.
Then I got up this morning. Yet another day of hanging out with a sick Bug. Another day loaded with Pooh and Dora and OHMAHGOCKI'MGOINGTOLOSEMYMINDREALLYFUCKINGSOON! (And let me just interject here that mister mrtl is OFF today, so escape is imminent!)
Anyhoo, once Bug was settled with Pooh, I decided to do a little Blingo research. Wouldn't you know, I'm finding some humor in my predicament! And really, if I can't laugh about this, especially when I'm so close to the edge, this may be the final push. And if I can laugh about this, why not share it with the world? (Or at least the world that kept reading after the link above?)
It was a phrase that came up on the site I linked above that struck me as so amusing. It took me a few beats to place it. Then I realized: Turd in the Punchbowl! The meme!
Let's give it a go!
Lump in the rectum
Not a dingleberry

My butt is rather itchy

Makes me pretty bitchy
I'd like to dedicate the above poetry to SJ, who has no qualms in discussing such matters. I admire her balls she nuts.

Unfortunately, I feel your pain.

yonzie - Not something I'd wish on anyone. Sorry to hear it!

I'm laughing really hard and trying NOT to click on the "see all pictures & images" link. oh but I am so sorry to hear that it's true, all true, the best of us will get 'em when pregnant. I've heard that Preparation-H is one of the most frequently shoplifted drugstore commodities, along with condoms.
Glad you're posting; I've been absent too but you know I no longer hesitate to post a little bit of nothing when need be. Now I must hurry up to the gym before the ennui mentioned in my last post returns.

Too funny! Love the itchy/bitchy part. One of the bonuses of pregnancy, in addition to the throwing up and retaining water, etc. etc.

Daphne - I clicked. They're just diagrams - nothing very mortifying. (I have to say I was just a little disappointed.)
The gym. What a novel idea. hehe
lori - You ask me, I prefer the bonus of eating pie. Bug is napping now and I'm heading out.

Okay, wait. I don't want to be behind the curve so, um, we're talking about hemorrhoids here, right?

I'm with you, eclectic. Maybe I should have tagged people with this.
LadyBug - Sick.
Andrea - You have shocked me!
For the record, my husband had the following comment: "See what you've started? Dork!"
