I feel pretty set about saying no to the job...if I can get the same money doing something else that won't be as taxing, it's a simple decision.
That's the perfect thing, then. Above and beyond paying the rent and buying groceries, and no matter how much you adore your kids, you need some brainspace and some energy left for *you* and the things you love to do.
Kathy, people that don't watch Countdown might think we're totally making it up but I predict "Paternity Puppet Theater" at least. Four More Years!(Excuse me but it's contract day and I haven't gotten to say "Four more years" in a happy tone since '96.) Sorry, JZ, hope things get better soon. And remember that most of the crap you worry about doesn't happen.
Hey, shrift, where are you reading about Chicago gangs? I feel the need to get educated.
That's the stuff that really matters, the loss of competence that I feel deeply.
It comes back. It really, really does.
One of my parents pulls out a poem I wrote years ago and says, "This is so moving. What are you working on lately?" and I feel guilty and teary.
Oh, my. I think you need to tell your parent, "I've been working on making, feeding, sustaining, and nurturing your GRANDDAUGHTER. So, little busy these days."
You know you don't have to clean on my account.
I am not going to bother mopping the floors, but I am still cleaning the bathroom. I'm afraid I must insist.
And if I have time, I will make cupcakes, if only so I can, uh, taste-test a few of them tonight.
Plus, all new competences! Like feeding a human with your bosom!
Like feeding a human with your bosom!
It's very cost effective. Plus also the contented after bonding.
That's the stuff that really matters, the loss of competence that I feel deeply.
It comes back. It really, really does.
Absolutely! It does.
And remember that most of the crap you worry about doesn't happen.
Truer words were never typed.
Oh god, I need to do some cleaning, too. My parents are coming to town on Saturday, and, while they aren't staying with me, they always manage to spend some time in my apartment when they're here.
