What's Your Name?

Oh my, its raining buckets. That's one thing I learned about Hawaii 30 years ago, it doesn't START to rain here, like with a little drizzle. It just all of a sudden DUMPS a deluge of water from the sky. Its even too rainy for the ducks. Not our ducks, but someones friendly white ducks, that show up every morning, seemingly bring a friend, to now there are FIVE of them, they stayed home. Note to whoever - don't toss the left over of your sandwich you were going to throw out, to a duck standing in your driveway....they have friends!

What's this song about? Well, it is one of the top songs of 1978. On this day in 1978, at about this time, I was walking around the circle from the living room through the hall, through the middle bedroom - the one with 2 doors - through the kitchen and dining room and back to the living room. Over and over. I had just gone into labor, thanks to THE PRICE IS RIGHT (That damn ding ding ding ding ding ding)

About 4 hours later, in an extremely crowded hospital, I told the nurse that I was not going to pant and blow and wait for my doctor to show up. There in just a hospital bed, it a storage room my daughter came out just as the doctor walked into the room. I surely didn't need him, and apparently he had some problems as he shot himself up with heroin about 6 months later and ate a gun. He wasn't even there the next morning for ROUNDS. I wanted out of there, I was tired and couldn't get any sleep at all. I convinced some other doctor that since I lived only 5 houses away, to let me go home and I would come back every four hours and feed her, which I did, and then took her home the next day.

The only name I had picked out was Chris. And the day before she was born I was really having second thoughts about that name. At the time the TV show Three's Company was popular and it occurred to me that if I did have a girl that people would call her Chrissy. At the same time, my Heather plants were in full bloom. And that's how her name came to be. I will say that I'm sorry that I gave her a Country Singer's middle name (which I won't put here).


Cute baby, huh? Gosh, she looks just like her dad! What a beautiful baby. Everywhere I went people stopped me and told me what a gorgeous baby she was!

What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl
Well there aint no shame
What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight little girl
Won't you do the same?

Songwriter - Ronnie VanZandt (Lynyrd Skynyrd)

Of Note:
On the issue of Childbirth, I saw that Bitch Midwife Claudia Brown on the Hoike Channel on the Ann of Valium show, she has red hair in a pony tail with the front white, sticking up like a rooster. I can't believe she is running a business after, being fired for incompetence. And its too bad that there is a whole new generation of young women who have no idea how horrible she is at what she does. I had to kick her out of my labor room 15 years ago. She broke my water without my permission and then later tried to force my cervix back after she lied to me to say she just wanted to check to see how my labor was progressing before she got off duty. I'll write more about her later. But if you are looking for a natural childbirth, you certainly don't need her help!

By the way, back to my reason for this post:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

This was not the number one song that day, I think it was probably a Bee Gees song, but I only like the Bee Gees done by Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake.
