When I was angry and bitter, a couple years ago, I was a much more entertaining writer.
Family and home renovation and teething are not especially exciting, and my drive to complain has mainly dissipated. For example: I would like our tiling in the kitchen to be more even, but... too late. The Bug whispered "Go crib" to me last night after he nursed to sleep; it was adorable.
I think about working. I think about science. I miss having the opportunity to, occasionally, tell someone off in a thorough, professional, and unmistakable manner. I have no intention of going back to work. One day, when we finish refinishing the damn trim in our whole damn house, I think I will start a business. Really. Probably sewing.
Of course, given the aimlessness, I might just think about having another baby instead. Because a baby is like a business, right? RIGHT?
It's just as time-consuming, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteA baby is like three businesses at once! :)

Another lover of the life stuff (and, incidentally, another post-PhD, now stay-at-home mom, at least for now). keep posting!
