Feeling better

Just wanted to get that out there. I'm feeling better. I'm regaining my sanity and my joie de vivre.

Have a good weekend!

When the grass is not green anywhere

Okay, forgive the completely insane title. But still. You working outside the home parents/future parents? You know how you might have fantasized just a touch about working from home and the paradise that must be? Sitting around in your pjs! Your boss a mere blip on the screen! Baby care so easy!

Ha ha ha. I'm here to burst your bubbles.

Working from home with a mobile infant sucks. Once they master the forward crawl and the screech? It's all over. And you're sitting around in those pjs, feeling all slovenly, rushing from task to task with half a brain, while you fume about the disgusting cesspit your house has become after months of half-neglect.

I don't know if dropping your dearest little one off at daycare for 8 hours a day is any easier. We can discuss that. But I do know that writing something while someone summarily demolishes the room behind you is very difficult. Especially if they can scream at dolphin frequencies when bored/sad/confused/frustrated.

The end of my very short rope

It's been a terrible past few weeks. The kicker: Mastitis last week. 101+ fever. And still, I wrote a press release and took care of dear Bruiser (who was completely unfazed by the whole experience).

Just wanted to let y'all know I'm still out here. Even if I'm a battered shell of my former perky self...
