Finally

As you can see, I finally added a picture to my profile. This is a huge step for me. I’m not entirely comfortable with it being so visible. Depending on my anxiety level, it might disappear or turn up in some less “HEY LOOK AT ME” spot on my blog. I’m not a privacy nut, per se, but I’ve been online a long time and I’ve learned a few things about revealing information to the world. One day, maybe I’ll tell you all a story about it. Until then…

Venting…

I’m so tired of being tired. My husband is going out of town next month for about 4 days. He gloated this morning about how it’s going to be so great to get a full night’s sleep and not be woken up 2-3 times a night by our resident teething insomniac and I got SO mad at him. When is it going to be MY turn to get a full night of sleep? Hmm? Grrrrr…

You’re Someone’s Mother?

Not much happening today.Had a busy, busy day yesterday. Went down to the water and watched a big parade and stayed for fireworks. Met up with friends and their kids. Saw tons of people I know or knew.

It’s funny how all the people I used to party with are now having kids. They must be thinking the same thing about me that I am about them, which is: “Holy shit…I can’t believe you’re someone’s parent”. Some of these people made me look like a nun. They could out-drink, out-drug and out-everything me. There are good and bad sides to living in the same city for 20 years.

I also ran into a lot of people from my mom’s club. I was an officer in this club but since I got pregnant with my last child, I lost interest. Naps kind of took over my life. Now the baby’s naps rule my life. But really, while every single person in the club was super nice, I just felt a little out of place. I’m not sure that a former party girl with a pierced nose (but no ring), tattoo (usually hidden) and mostly liberal views (also usually hidden) actually fit that well. I always felt like I had to tone myself down to be on their level. It just got old.

When P gives up his early morning nap, I’m going to look into getting back into a playgroup again. Maybe it will be different as a regular member instead of an officer.

Anyone out there in a mom’s club? What was/is it like?

In other news…did you know that most people have staph bacteria living in their nose? You should never pick your nose and then scratch your eye (or pick a scab or open sore) without washing your hands first. Apparently, this is one way people get styes and other infections in their eye. I recently read this somewhere.

I bet your eye is itching RIGHT NOW.

Grey’s Anatomy Gets it’s Own Post

Anyone watch Grey’s Anatomy tonight? It wasn’t that great. PD looked good but doesn’t get enough screen time. Ever. It’s annoying. Who thinks Derek and Addison have chemistry? Not me. I’m just waiting for him and Meredith to start shaggin’ again. It’s only a matter of time…
