In honor of NaBloPoMo, here’s Post #1! Stay tuned all month, I have a feeling toward the end we’ll be scraping a pretty interesting barrel.
Halloween hangover ’06. Somehow, even though she didn’t even go trick or treating, the Child was up early, on the one day EVER that we both needed so badly to sleep in.
We punished TeenHer for leaving her candy in a bowl on her dresser by eating the Smarties. What, has she forgotten who she lives with? And does she think I am stupid? I know she hid the good chocolate and left out the throwaway candy in the bowl. And I know where she hid the crack, too. Amateur. Oh god. Please, Universe, please let her remain an amateur so that I might find the contraband when it turns into actual contraband! And destroy it! (really!)
Shortsightedly and because she was pulling my pants down (thank you, elastic waist! I love being pantsed every day!) while moaning “mama! Up! Mama! Open! (which also means up) Mommy! Hold me!” I lulled the Toddler into a nap at 12:15, a full HOUR AND A HALF before the real naptime. Why was I so shocked at 2:05 then, when I heard the first beginning squeals and “mommy!” mutterings in the next room? I tried to shut it out, Internet. I confess; I was waiting her out, hoping her father would be home soon to save my life.
That’s when I remembered: Training! AUGH! My darling will be tutoring 2 days a week after work, and today is the ‘training’ day. He’s due home at 5. did I say AUGH yet?
So here we sit, in pajamas from this morning of course, and today I’m cooking dinner early so that as soon as relief comes through the door in the form of ohmygoadnotheradultyay I can retreat upstairs to the bedroom. What with gestating a human and everything, I do get the perk of naps and early evening sojourns to the bedroom with a book. Bless him.
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post, where I’ll talk about how I can tell what time it is when I wake up just by how madly I have to pee and the traffic noise outside!

You guys have traffic in the country? Man, this US is getting congested.
And you’re adding a brand new human, for whom I’ll soon be making something, to the mix! c*ONg*RaT*UlA*TiO*ns!
PS: I’d love to come over yonder and cook for you. Alas, maybe someday.
