Tonya,

First thing I'd do, is change the message on your answering machine to the following:

"Hi, this is Tonya. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I'm unable to come to the phone. If you're calling to find out whether I will be attending functions in the next few days , the answer is N-O! If there is a part of N-O that you don't understand, please call my OB-GYN at (phone number) and he will be more than happy to explain it in further detail. Oh, and by the way, just to let you know, should ANY of you be at ALL concerned about MY well-being, my reply to you is Fine, and YOU???.

Thanks and have a nice day!"


Then lay back, take care of you and Tyler and just let the machine do what it's supposed to do. You don't need that kind of aggravation right now, honey.

Some people just don't get it.
