Mermaid or Whale?

My best friend sent this to me and I just wanted to post it!! Makes you think!!!




Recently, in a large city in Australia ,a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym.It said, "This summer,do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?"
A middle-aged woman,whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster,responded publicly to the questionposed by the gym.
To Whom It May Concern,Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans.)They have an active sex life,get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp.They play and swim in the seas,seeing wonderful places like Patagonia ,the Bering Seaand the coral reefs of Polynesia .Whales are wonderful singersand have even recorded CDs.They are incredible creaturesand virtually have no predatorsother than humans.They are loved, protected and admiredby almost everyone in the world.
Mermaids don't exist.If they did exist,they would be lining up outside the officesof Argentinean psychoanalystsdue to identity crisis. Fish or human?They don't have a sex life because they kill men who get close to them, not to mention how could they have sex?Just look at them ... where is IT?Therefore, they don't have kids either.Not to mention,who wants to get close to a girl who smellslike a fish store?
The choice is perfectly clear to me:I want to be a whale.
P..S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver, and a piece of chocolate with my friends.With time, we gain weightbecause we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our headst hat when there is no more room,it distributes out to the rest of our bodies.So we aren't heavy,we are enormously cultured,educated and happy.Beginning today,when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, ¨Good grief, look how smart I am!¨

Baby Blues.....

So for the past 2 years have been great with my little boy and I am so blessed to have such a wonderful and loving son. But I am ready for another baby Elijah will be three years old in July and I wanted another child by now and I don't see that happening anytime soon. I loved being pregnant and I love babies and children. My fear is we are going to wait to long and it not going to happen for me. I am trying to lose weight so I can be healthy when I do get pregnant again and for my son so they can have their mom around! I feel like what is the point right now if I am not going to have another baby soon, but I know I don't just need to be healthy for just being pregnant. I'm just really annoyed that we are going to be putting off for another year or maybe even longer!!! UGH!! I don't want 7 years between my children!!! I am just depressed over this topic and I really worried that I wont have anymore children. All I ever wanted was a house full of children... I just don't know anymore....
