clap, clap


i'm not sure exactly how he learned this, but he did. it makes me wonder what else he's picking up from us.
like the frequency with which i say the f word, the s word, damnit, goddamnit, damnit to hell, hell, what the hell, oh hell and, "WOLLY!! GO. GET. ON. YOUR. BED. .... please." i really hope none of that sinks in before i can alter my behavior. (note to self: alter behavior)
i had a job interview today. i haven't really been looking for a job as it hasn't exactly been our plan for me to have a job. it hasn't exactly not been in our plan either. you know us - this is how we are. basically planless.
anyway, it sounds like a really fun job - planning events for a yoga studio in santa monica. i left t2 with our friend and neighbor pharida and went to see what it was all about. if i'm going to take a job, it's going to be something different, something that challenges me, something i've never done before, something that's very close by and something that i can be happy at because let's face it, if mama ain't happy, nobody's happy.
this job is all of those things.
the weird thing is i have really mixed feelings about it. first, i'm not even sure it's cost effective as we'd have to call in some reinforcements. but more than that, i felt like i was cheating on t2 just going to the interview. like sneaking around behind him, seeking out a new love. it was a pretty rotten feeling.
hi, mom. meet guilt.
at the same time, i felt human again and was reminded that i'm a bright person with a little bit of charm and a nice smile.
i'll know something by the end of the week. until then, i'm surrendering to the universe.

he's geting bigger, cuter and more articulate every day! And I've gotta say that I'm most proud of your resolve to turn him into a little gentleman. Clapping is a good start, he needs to do it when you serve him meals, walk into a room, break ito song with daddy!
