Not it, for either of Suzi's dreams.

Yeah, they forget to tell you when you get pregnant that the batteries aren't included and accesories are NOT optional.

No shit. Em's pack n play is more a "Baby Crap Holder".

And not crap crap. Toys and junk crap.

I had a good friend back in high school who had her entire future mapped out, planned, scheduled, etc. She did everything according to her rigid plan. Then she got pregnant. It was so fun during those early years to hear her fuss about how the kid messed up her schedule. Sorry, kids do that - they have THEIR OWN schedule and they don't tend to share it with us.

Deena speaking of tiaras reminded me.

It's getting into the colder months. Anyone interested in a "Warm Your Bitch" blanket exchange?

Blah.

The problem with being at work on a day when you don't really have to do anything is that you don't really have the motivation to get a jump on the other things you really DO need to do.

As soon as I get out of here I have to go back to my place and clean scour it in preparation of removing the stove and fridge and capping the shower in one last attempt to avoid eviction after the town inspection in the morning. I then have to do the bills and figure out a list of debts and assets to discuss with my CT lawyer in the morning--I have a 7AM phone conference with him about the divorce proceedings. Oh, and did I mention that I'm throwing a party Saturday that I've done nothing for? Or that I must begin the massive undertaking of dividing all of the bills and making sure all of the CT house bills are in D's name and have been moved from online delivery to me to snail mail delivery to him? I also have 100+ tests and essays to grade and another pile of loose end correcting.

Other than that, I'm not stressed at all.

A good friend of mine has twins who will be 1 yr old tomorrow. They have a smallish apartment, a small car, two of everything, and a schedule for those kids written in stone. They spend a lot of time in the park with those kiddos so they can take advantage of the multiple swing supplied by the town. I often think how lucky they are to be living here in CA, where you can take them outside many more months of the year than other places.

Me, me! I missed the last blanket exchange. I want in on another one if we get enough people.

I really should change my tagline to "hairpat ho".

I always tend to think these people should get cats, not have kids.

No kidding. If a cat doesn't develop or act the exact way you think it should, you can give it away. Kids, NSM.
