For 2009- I promised to spend more time in our box sized apartment. The holidays were a mess of driving here to there back to there over to nowhere back to here. Soooo tired of putting crap in the car and unpacking the babies stuff from the car. Well, to be honest, I get the car out of the lot…then my partner packs the entire car.
Not sure where the last 2 months have gone. Oh yeah, Thanksgiving family driving back and forth; Christmas shopping (twin received a wooden sled); A trip to Macy’s Santaland in 10 degree weather (I hate crowds); M made us all attend Christmas eve Mass (where a woman asked me if the “other lady was my sister” – I responded that she was my partner…oh I love coming out during mass; Christmas schlepping to 2 states (not doing that next year); M losing her job and wrapping up employment; All of us getting the stomach virus; Father hospitalized for a week with more heart problems; New years eve (hate that freaking holiday); M and had one date – went to Brandywine River Museum (Andrew Wyeth died a week later. We are bad luck); Vermont trip over MLK weekend...on the way during a pit stop-son our protectile vomitted me all over me in a resturant. Apparently he had a virus we were not aware of....
I really miss being alone sometimes. Note to my partner: Subway time spent going to and from work does not count as alone time. Right now she is at a friend's 40th birthday party. I am gloriously alone...parnoid that the yelps coming from the street are the babies waking up again. So bad is my craving for a bit of solitude that when I was watching Notes on a Scandal again....I was jealous of Judi Dench, the part when she is creepy in the bathtub (after her cat is dead) and comments how difficult and lonely it is to design a weekend around the single event of dropping laundry off a dry cleaner....oooh how I would love to have that problem for just one day. I hope that isn't a jinx. Love love love the family...just miss an little bit of me.
Please Angelina, Brad, Those Duggar people, and the chick with 8 babies in California- stop the madness.
