trifecta

Everything triggers it now and I'm just not dealing well with it.
I went to the photography shop to pick up my family xmas cards and there were two pigeon pair families waiting to get their pictures taken. Of course the boys were wearing the little forgettable outfits lazy uncreative designers think we want to dress our boys in and the girls were all dolled up in cute dresses. I knew that would happen because the same thing happened last week when we had the actual pictures taken and then the next night when we went to parents' night at my younger son's preschool we were again the only all-boy family. Out of a class of twenty!
It doesn't seem like 25% of families are like mine. It seems like I'm really the "odd man out."
For a while it bothered me less but now it's really bothering me. I guess it's just the holidays coming, seeing more advertisements, dealing with my nostalgia, etc.
