the other morning we were on our way to work when NM's cell phone rang.
NM: "I dont recognize the number."
me: "pick it up, it might be important."
NM: *answers the phone* "hello? yes, this is NM. uh-huh... yeah.... ok. that's AWESOME NEWS!
me: (*thinking* what's awesome news? hm, maybe its about a baby!! nah, that would be silly.)
NM: "wow... what great news. and TWINS?!"
me: (*thinking* omg! its totally the adoption agency!! we have been picked!! we have been picked!! and the birth-mother has twins!! yay!!)
NM: "that's so great! ok, yeah... uh-huh.... um, may 31st? let me think... um, yeah, im pretty sure that will work."
me: (*thinking* may 31st? that's like a week away?! omg! we are gonna be parents in a week!!)
NM: "ok, thanks for the call. ill see you then" *hangs up the phone and continues to drive*
me: "um, what the heck was that all about!??!"
NM: "oh, nothing. my dentist had to move my appointment up to the 31st because his wife is having twins in 2 weeks."
me: *speechless*
aaaand, scene.

IT IS ABOUT DAMN TIME! *huge nonemotional hugs* So glad you're back.
ReplyDeleteI'm not thrilled about all the adult beverages you're consuming these days. Where was fun NJ back when we were around??!! I feel completely robbed of the special moments we could have shared. *sigh*
Anyway, I love you more'n my luggage. And I would NEVER tell you to enjoy your child free lives. That's Rebeca's insensitive line. *wink* Your day will come, my friend. And when it does, your little mobsters Hawaii aunties will be waiting with arms open and food ready! Woot.
Damn. Even I was excited for a minute. Wishing you... patience? luck? a phone call that changes your lives?
ReplyDeleteso glad to see you back. and so glad nm was able to re-schedule her dentist appointment. i was worried for a minute. dental hygiene is crucial. seriously though, i hope you get that long awaited phone call soon.
