Good News & Mommy-Training

Happy Wednesday! FINALLY!

A lot of you know but some of you don't know that I have 7 animals. Yes, 7: 2 man-rats, 1 ferret, 3 cats and 1 pug. They are a ton of work but Shawn and I work together to make it all happen. I have sold myself short for the last time (as of yesterday) by saying that I don't have an idea of what it's like to have children just by comparing it to the work the sheer amount of animals we have take. I DO.

This was my Tuesday:

• Woke up at 5AM because I couldn't sleep anymore. I just got ready instead of laying there until I was tired enough to sleep but late enough that I couldn't.
• Did not get to work early. Just on time despite having 2 and a half hours to get ready.
• Worked a full day at work.
• Came home and planned to take a nap while the ferret ran around in the room for exercise.
• Instead cleaned up water-diarrhea that the ferret had all over the floor.
• Gave a wiggly, feisty ferret a bath.
• Cleaned up all the residual mess of half-done tasks invoked by weasel scat.

After that fiasco I looked up to see that it was just about time for Shawn to get home.
No nap for mommy.


ANGRY FAAAAACE!

Then I made dinner for our friends and their almost-2-year-old boy who are a delight. Dinner turned out well, we had just enough food and desserts for everyone, and they told me that Peach is more of a PITA than a new baby. And a toddler.

Much more.

After the day I had, to know that if I can deal with Peach that I can handle our future baby (in the eyes of experienced parents), I feel good about that. So good news there.

Cuz Peach is a crrrazy bitch sometimes; even if she looks sweet.

PS: I wore this today and I must say... I look good today. I'm having a "Jamie Moment!"
