5 Months Already
Since I’ve come back to work.
Sigh.
I’m used to it now, but it’s a much more dysfunctional place than before I went on mat. leave – good thing I’m about to get a week off. Woo hooo! Still have to last through tomorrow, but I can deal with that.
And BabyFreak, before you get all excited, we’re not going anywhere. Nope, Papa was supposed to think up something nice for a little getaway thingie, but you know him…. That didn’t work out so well, though he did come up with the suggestion to drive to Ottawa. Papa and I both used to live there, though that was before we knew each other, while we went to Grad School and we still like the place. We’ve been meaning to go for a while, but somehow it never worked out. And yeah it's nice, but a bit far for a nice, little getaway in a week in which we have to do all sorts of other things as well.
Anyway…. We’re not going. Our car is too small and way too uncomfortable and it’s got no a/c and the last time we went on a road trip and it was hot out, you didn’t do so well. We were kinda worried, actually…. You were sitting in your hot little car seat, all sweaty and half-asleep without any energy at all. Head droopy, eyes half open and all red in the face. Not at all what you do on a normal day – we normally have to sing to you loudly to keep you entertained for the last hour or so because you have gotten sick and tired of sitting down for so long. Anyway, we also don’t really want to spend all that cash just to go to Ottawa.
The plan now is to say put, get some stuff done around the house and to possibly build a fence around the backyard so we can get that all going and turn it into a nice hang-out space for us.
I’m just glad I’ll get to spend some time with my little family, but have, of course, informed Papa that he’s not off the hook exactly and that he should still be planning something nice for the three of us. Not sure how well that’s going to go, but he can make a bit of an effort every once in while, no?
It'll be our last week together before you're starting homecare!
