When the boys were young, I had them believing that I was a real life super hero.
Wonder Woman to be exact.
One day Jax had an argument with his classmate.
The classmate was calling bullshit with the super hero story.
Jax got home that afternoon very upset, so I thought I'd better quit with the 'big story' and tell the poor lad the truth.
"Jax, you know how I have told you that I am a super hero???
Well, I haven't been totally honest with you.
I am actually a Russian-French-Italian born SUPER MODEL living under cover to disguise my true identity of an international spy working for the English Parliament giving war secrets with telepathy to David Beckham through the waste band of our briefs to help queen Elizabeth give nuclear face treatments to Prince Charles and Camilla....
such a shame to be that powerful, yet so ugly.
So really my job here is to help others with their outer beauty."
There was enough in that statement to confuse the hell out of him and he never asked about it again!
Lesson #143 in how to divert a child's thought process:
Use a lot of words....it's hypnotic,
and then they forget anything that they were obsessing with before the literary overload.
Ok.....where was I going with this post????
Think Jolie......think!
Wonder Woman......
Lies I tell my kids.......
Child lessons........
Oh yes, I remember now.
I brought up the Wonder Woman thing, because of her bullet proof wrist bands.
I am having my wrist surgery in a few short days.
They will be scoping and repairing the cartilage/ligament tears,
and then.....
AND THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
they will break my ulna bone, take a small piece out of it, and put it back together with a metal plate and screws!!!!!
Oh hell, I get nauseous just saying plate and screws and break and take a small piece.
Oh God....Oh God.
I thought I was ok with this.
I thought I was a strong broad.
I thought I could meditate myself through anything.
I thought I was Wonder Woman with super powers.
But now I realize the only common quality W.W. and I share will be a metal wrist guard.
Unfortunately, FUG scars come along with mine.
Shit....I really don't want to do this!!!!
[I don't know why I'm turning into such a wimp on this thing....
it's a common surgery,
it's JUST a wrist.....
it's NOT like they are putting a plate in my head for god's sake!!!
Waaaaah effin Waaaaaah!]

Thank you 41 year old body!!!
After all I have done for you with the late nights, over consumption of Bud Light, and the 10 extra pounds I have given you?!?!?
How could you do this to me?

I'm so sorry to hear about your wrist redo. What can we do to make it better? Stay tough WW, those stylish wristbands will cover your battle scars.
Maybe a stylish tat can cover them....
Let me know what I can do to help.
Love

I was wondering when I talked to you yesterday how you were sounding so calm about it.....so this is a delayed freak out reaction?! It came to me last night in the middle of the night-the technical term....ULNAR SHORTENING OSTEOTOMY. If you say it like that does it make it more or less freaky in your head? (See-all this useless information I have stored in my head that I can call on when I need it.) Can't imagine why you're freaked out....I mean-it's only your wrist...HELLO?! I'm so glad you got a second opinion and have a good surgeon now. Here's the big question burning in my mind......will it screw up your cool tattoo?
On a serious note-let me know what I can do to help. I'm here for you.
Ah girl! I think it is natural to be nervous! You are so loved and I am here to help too! You are WW and will bounce back in no time. Healing powers heading you way. Love ya!
Alright WW, after all the crime fighting and righting the injustices of the world, your body is due for a tune up! One that makes me cringe, but a tune up all the same :)
