Love/Hate Relationship...

Dear Due Date {2.2.09}, We started off with a completely wonderful relationship. With joy & anticipation I looked forward to your arrival beginning on June 1, 2008. Knowing that the gender was a surprise made your upcoming arrival even sweeter. You seemed so far away until one of my favorite times of the year = Fall {2008}. Then I realized you, my Due Date, were just around the corner. Leaves falling, the Holidays, January, & then your debut. So, I have to ask the question, wHaT hApPeNeD?! Why didn't you produce a babe like you were supposed to? Isn't that what we had discussed? Isn't there a reason for a "Due Date?" It's like purchasing concert tickets & finding out at the last minute that the lead singer has Laryngitis. It's like craving breakfast food & showing up at the restaurant to find that they just started serving off of the Lunch Menu. It's like approaching your favorite store with glee with extra $ to spend & not finding a darn thing to purchase! I think the best way to describe you would be this: a Love/Hate Relationship is what I have with you. I loved you for over 8 whole months. I began hating you on Feb. 2, 2009 when the clock struck midnight & there was not a single sign of a BuNdLe Of JoY in sight. Despite your lack of performance & the "unsatisfactory" rating you received from me, I will always have a special place for you in my heart as being the date on my calendar that I looked forward to for so long. I am thankful & I rejoice that you- plus 3 additional days- was just the right amount of time Reddington needed to make his entrance into the world...And, oh BOY, what a grand entrance it was! Apology accepted, Megan
