Is This Irony?

My sweet health nut of a sister thinks the great irony of my life is that I have scars on my face. Mean right? Well not if I tell you the whole story. If I tell you why she thinks that you will agree that its a bit ironic.

You see as a teenager I was paranoid of scars on my face (still am even though I have 2). So paranoid that when I would get a pimple I refused to pop them. Besides being really really really gross according to Seventeen Magazine, which I read from 11-17 years of age, popping your pimples will cause you to have scars on your face that may be permanent. And my mom who is a sweet but slightly twisted woman would always want to pop the pimples and my health nut sister wanted to watch but I would never let them because it would causing scaring. And since I was an overly dramatic teenager I would make a very BIG deal about my mom wanting to pop them.

Now I have 2 scars on my face one from a car accident when I was in college (one broken nose and 27 stitches later) and one from my accident prone nature that I got moving. My Health Nut Sister actually laughs remembering how dramatic I was as a teenager about the whole thing. And I admit that is ironic but I don't think its the big irony of my life.

The big irony of my life is that for a woman that doesn't have kids my life for the last few years has been routinely governed by kids. Even before moving in with The BF I was surrounded by kids and on occasion changed my schedule due to their schedule. And now that the "pseudo"step-kids are in my life 50% of the time my life is often governed by their needs. When cooking dinner I have to figure out what the might eat, every other weekend I am unable to sleep in and I have seen a lot of movies recently that are G and PG rated that I would normally have never seen.

I am not complaining I am just saying this may be the true irony of my life...of course there are so many its hard to keep track of them all.

Whats the big irony of your life?

  2. The big irony of my life is that I have a kid who behaves just like I did as a child. I am getting it back in spades.

  3. Wow! It's hard not to worry about what might happen. The ironies in my life are too silly. I just try not to focus on the what ifs now.

  4. Hmmm... that is a good question. I'd have to say that the big ironies of my life is that men often describe me as "wifey" or "wife material" yet I am very single. Also I love kids and want to have them yet I am one of only a few childless friends. #commenthour.

  5. My mother wished I would have a more difficult kid then I was. Now she apologizes for wishing that on me. I guess that is ironic.

  10. My friends from high school find it wildly funny that I was the first of us to have a kid (and not until I was 29). I absolutely did not want children, so the fact that I have them at all is strange. The fact that I had them FIRST is ironic. ;)

    Stopping over from Chasing Joy's Flashback Friday. :)

  11. I'm going to have to agree with Jessica. My biggest irony is that my daughter is 26 and as much as I complain about her idiosyncrasies, I see myself in her. Daaaang!!!! Stopping by from Chasing Joy's Flashback Friday.

  12. I guess the irony of my life is that I wanted to be a writer at a younger age and never pursued it, but then as an adult had to take writing jobs to get by. Turns out that I really enjoy it and would have been the best career path for me from the start.
