I know this is just wrong. I can't help myself. If I'm going to be kept up at night, this is the payback. Man, she is going to HHHHHAAAAAATTTTTEEEEE me!!! She's already developed this very tolerant expression when I'm doing something stupid (such as dressing her in a sailor suit and giggling to myself, for example). She's such a good baby. I can't get over it. It's totally ridiculous.
My parents leave Saturday. I am panic-stricken. I have to somehow manage to keep her alive all by myself.
My mother says I need to stop buying stuff for her. I am afraid she's right. I have taken all my previous bad shopping habits (clothes, electronica, hair products) and simply converted them to Baby (8 million pink sleepers and smocked dresses, a baby MP3 player, hair bows). I must get better about saving. Especially since I'm seriously thinking about making my boss cry by taking an extra two weeks of STD at the 66% rate. I am freaking out about the whole going-back-to-work thing. THANK GOD I WORK FROM HOME. I don't know how people leave little teensy babies to drive to crappy jobs (like the teenage girl who checked me out at TJMaxx who has a 7 month old).
This whole motherhood thing is just crazy. What the heck was I thinking? Man, am I an idiot.
