Song on Repeat - December 26th, 2016

Tonight's song I've been listening to over and over is "I'm Not the Man" by Ben Folds. I am basically trying to find every live version I can on youtube. I have been obsessed with this song since the album came out. It gives me a lump in my throat when I listen to it sometimes. In February, I'll be seeing Ben live with a local orchestra. I have no clue if he'll play this one but I might go a bit crazy if he does.

A lovely live version is behind the spoiler tag.

In high school, I liked the song "Brick" by Ben Folds Five.  But I never really listened to Ben Folds much until around maybe 2010 or so. Since then, I've been kind of obsessed. I listen to him almost every single day. I'm not sure if that's healthy or not...ha! He just has so many great songs. The one I posted above is from his most recent album. I've only seen him perform live once in 2012. We're finally seeing him again next year and I am so freaking excited about it. As dumb and cliche and it sounds....his music has really helped me get through tough times. This won't be the last Ben song I post here.

Interesting. I'm pro-choice but I've still hit up "Brick" sometimes- I've made a lot of decisions that ideally I'd go a different way but realistically...

Today's endless repeat is OMD- History of Modern Part I. It feels very 2016.

I don't identify as pro-life or pro-choice really. But abortion depresses me so much. So Brick kind of makes me sad now that I know what it's about (in high school, I had no clue.)

I am not familiar with that song so I'll have to check it out.

      I would think having already experienced a uterine rupture, and IIRC this was with Freddy and about 3 weeks before his due date, Jill is in a higher than average risk for untoward events and likely is on a very individualized OBGYN plan. Navigating a pregnancy and safe birth after having had a previous uterine rupture and never having had a vaginal delivery has to make Jill’s care quite unique. I hope she utilizes high risk maternal/fetal practitioners. 

      Everyone is different and it’s her choice of course, but for me only the very crunchy and fundie would even consider a vbac after her horror births.
      It’s so sad that her only chance so far for a natural birth has been her angel baby girl. 
      But for  me, if I was Jill any full term babe would be c section signed up on conception.

      3 are married to Helferichs and 2 are married to Bowers.  If that doesn't scream arranged, I don't know what does.

      So it seems from instagram that she is in NYC filming for a special podcast. Anyone know what that is?

      She was debating parenting with a secular psychologist. She prepped for months, not because she needed it, oh no. She prepped so she could be drenched in scripture. She sounds so stupid. Part of me wants to listen but I can't stand her voice.

      Abbie gets tons of messages from panicked young moms who think they aren't doing things right. Maybe it's because shitty people like Abbie are always telling parents what to do. She has no clue whatsoever that she's a part of the problem. 

      God, her smug face is insufferable.
