Mar. 5th, 2008 02:16 pmToday is one of those days where the universe is illustrating karmic balance by swatting me for every decent thing that happens.
Baby sleeps in, so baby is happy. However, baby doesn't need morning nap, so I get no time to myself. Baby is happy on way to and from Target, but baby refuses to sit down in car seat and requires [exhausting] wrangling. Diapers on sale, but I have to listen to the obnoxious teenage cashier tell me how the chick who works in customer service has a kid, and he can't believe it because she "doesn't have all that extra stuff you get when you have a kid--you know. She doesn't look like she's had a kid." Got the checkbook balanced, but ... well, come on, you know where that's leading.
So ... I am broke, feeling a bit like a cow, and the house is a mess. But I have diapers, I can take "balance checkbook" off the to-do list, and Mr. Z. went down for an afternoon nap without a peep of protest.
You'd think I'd feel neutral, but really ... not so much. More kicked around.
