Unborn Heart August 31, 2003

Have you ever heard the song by Dan Hill entitled “Unborn Heart”? It’s kinda slow but the words are really cool. Here are the lyrics.

Unborn Heart

When she told me

She was gonna have a baby

A part of me went weighless

For the first time in my life

There was nothing I could say

It’s like a miracle from the stars above

Paralized with fear

I was overcome with love

She said soon you’ll hear the beating

Of an unborn heart

This is the answer

You’ve been searching for so hard

And for the first time in my life I felt

The wave of love so deep

As I listened for the unborn child’s heartbeat

I said something stupid like, how are you feeling

She smiled the warmest smile I’ve ever seen

Ohhh, I guess that said it all

Now were a far cry from the storybook romance

Something in her eyes, made me crumble

I reached out for her hand

She said soon, you’ll hear the beating

Of an unborn heart

This is the answer

You’ve been searching for so hard

And for the first time in my life I felt

The wave of love so deep

As I listened for the unborn child’s heartbeat

Now we all know how crazy

This world can be sometimes

And I lie awake at night and wonder

How a child survives

Beyond the danger in the strangers

And the inhumanity

Lord give us strength to someday find a world that lives in peace

Ohhh

Soon, you’ll hear the beating

Of an unborn heart

This is the answer

You’ve been searching for so hard

And for the first time in my life I felt

The wave of love so deep

As I listened for the unborn child’s heartbeat

Ohhh, I can almost hear the beating…

Look at the belly!

I posted a picture of me at 18 weeks. According to the pregnancy journal we are in the fifth lunar month now. You can also see my kitchen that I painted. All of the walls are that yellow with cabinet doors a minty green. It’s beautiful (IMHO).

Stories August 29, 2003

Does anyone know where I can find online stories and books to read?

Oh I hate that rabbit…

I’m genuinely pissed right now. It really ticks me off that I have been desperately looking for things to do around here just to pass the time. Yet the chick (who has called in 4 out of 5 times this week) who works with me comes in, sits down and starts reading her stupid little russian short stories. She only works four hours a day and to top it off, she has taken at least an hour lunch already. WTF? Someone please shoot me.

What now?

So it’s 10:08 and I’ve done all the work for the day. What the heck do I do now?

Lemonade, anyone? August 28, 2003

I just played the Lemonade Stand Game for about an hour. I’ve come to the conclusion that I am insanely bored and that it is just not profitable to have a lemonade stand. I keep telling myself that I can leave at 3:45. I’m supposed to leave at 4pm but 3:45 is acceptable. But dang that is still 30 minutes away.

You stupid little kid…

I would never say that to anyone, but that is how I feel my limited duty supervisor treats me. I believe that in a previous entry I have said that I hate being treated like a child and it’s this LD supervisor that treats me in such a manner. She comes to me and repeats her directions at least five times. She speaks to me like an illiterate little child who doesn’t even speak English as their first language. I despise that. Why must she treat me this way? I’m a very intelligent young woman, graduated with an honors diploma, had an above the average SAT/ACT score. I also went to a very snobby undergraduate school that stole a lot of my money because they are so “great.” And yet, this lady thinks that she can treat me in this demeaning manner. It irritates the living crap out of me.

A Mid Day Snack

I just got back from my mid day snack. A small salad. A bonus (aside from not feeling hungry anymore) is that when I eat here at work, it takes time which makes my day pass by a bit faster. Yum. So I had a small salad, a bit of cottage cheese, and apple juice. Healthy, right? I’m trying to make a conscious effort to consume more calcium, juice, and water. Since I don’t drink milk, I’m thinking I should be uping things elsewhere, so I had cottage cheese. And I drink juice at work and water at home and a small cup of not very strong tea in the morning. The tea helps “ground” my stomach.

Adorable Baby

Check out Rachels really really really really adorable baby.

Hungry (again)

I’m hungry yet again. I’m thinking a nice salad would taste good right about now. What do you think?
