Things I Learned Today

One: Your child is really sick when they ASK to go to the doctor. As in, "Please take me to the doctor." Sad.

Two: One way to get everything in your house clean is to have someone pee or puke on it. Everything in this house has been freshly laundered.

Three: I got a copy of Working Mother in the mail today. Ironic. It is for moms who work out of the home. Yet I do not think I have ever worked harder in my life since staying at home. I AM a working mother. I just do not get a paycheck at the end of two weeks. And besides, why in the world did I get a copy of this magazine? I sure as hell did not order it.

Back to your regularly scheduled programs........

Nuh-uh. You know you just sit on the couch, eating bonbons and watching Oprah all day. I mean, I'm a SAHM, and that's all I do.

Maybe you got it from someone who thinks you *need* a "real" job.

Sorry about the sick. :(

Sometimes There Are No Words

Last night I met a new friend. Let me preface this by saying I have made exactly ONE new friend in the last ten years. This makes number two. My Babycenter and Blogging friend Amanda , was having a conference in KC. We made plans to meet up. I felt a bit odd. Here I was making plans to meet someone I only knew from the Net. But Mark thought it was perfectly great and even said for me to stay out as long as I wanted. He said it was not as if I was meeting up with someone I saw often. Stay out and talk and have fun. So I did. I made plans to meet with Amanda. I knew we had a lot in common. Both from the board and from reading her blog. I knew she was someone who if she lived closer to me we could hang out. But I was a bit apprehensive. Here was someone who only knew me through the computer. So many what if's , right? Mark was actually the one who said I should meet with her, if only for a little while. So, I picked Amanda up at her hotel and off we went to Fooleries. Great place to ...

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...
