(It's a quote from an old show called Northern Exposure -- from the "Spring Break" episode. It's a little out-of-context here, but it's the most appropriate quote I can come up with for this post.)
I don't know why, but for some reason, that's the quote that goes through my head at 4:00 every afternoon. Which is precisely the time that my phone alarm is going off.
The alarm note: "Birth Control Pill".
That's right, I'm back on it. It's been almost a year since the last time I had to worry about getting pregnant...because I was already pregnant. And don't think it hasn't crossed my mind that it could happen again at any minute. (Well, not really. These things don't just spontaneously materialize. But you know what I mean.) I, myself, am the product of an "uh oh, I didn't think you could get pregnant this soon after having a baby" pregnancy, so I know it happens. I am definitely taking all precautions.
Honestly though, if it wasn't for that little alarm dinging every afternoon, these stupid little pills definitely would not be effective. I sometimes have trouble remembering what I ate for breakfast. How can I possibly be expected to remember something like popping my "no thank you, I have my hands pretty full right now, so I would really appreciate NOT getting pregnant anytime soon" pill?! Thankfully, modern technology being what it is, I don't have to remember.
I just have to remember to be near my cell phone.
