But then I had tiny humans and fell in love with an Asian, alas I grew up. And with growing up you get a career! I loved working at the paper, yelling at Alice and the drama that surrounds most offices, the temper tantrums, the whining and inner office turmoil makes me long for the career I left behind to be stay at home mommy to Kalliope :)
So upward and onward I climb to start a career of my own.... no more Yo GAbba Gabba or Four Squares, forget the sweet joy of coffee and the morning news, or snuggling Kalli before her noisy brother wakes up, there's no time for watching early morning retro toon's with the boy child before school or afternoon naps....
Upon starting my job, i realize several things. Yoga pants and Star Trek t-shirts are not approved dress code (damn it, do my dress pants even fit anymore?!) Adult women with jobs are required to wear more than mascara every day, the just wash and wear look hair -do isn't so cool with out an toddler on your hip and I may have forgotten how to use hair spray (after I find the stupid stuff)
Then there's the child care.... we are just finishing our first week, and to be honest I secretly hoping there would be more drama in dropping Princess Wong off! But nope, even the first day, she is walks in like she owns the place and and makes herself at home. I get a half hearted wave buh-bye and she's off to destroy someone else's home. I hoped for at least some tears and a clingy NO MOMMY NO at least once or twice! Heavens, I've had her every day since her birth!!! But nope, alas I am forced to kiss my squirming toddler good bye and let another woman get her smiles and love for the next 6 hours!
Maybe next week there will be some daycare drama or my son will need me at school! Maybe the dog will get sick or the hamster will escape.... heavens, something somewhere needs to happen to make me feel like life will go on without me at home all day!!
Cheers All!! P.S. Eat your vegetables! :)
