Boobies!

So this “no blogging about The Workplace” policy of The Workplace is pretty shitty. There are big things going on with us these days, but I can’t tell you about 85% of it. I guess we’ll get straight to the 15% that I can tell you about.

I’m going back to work full-time in the next couple of weeks. No, it’s not because Maddie’s douchbaggery has reached Critical Mass or anything like that. Honestly, I was extremely happy with our previous part-time situation. I loved what I was doing at work and the opportunity to have an identity outside of Maddie’s Mom AND the ability to spend four full days a week with her. It was the best of both worlds. For me and Maddie, that is. For Gerald? Not so much.

See, in order for me to work half a job, Gerald works two. And he’s also working very hard on a project that will enable us to be in business for ourselves. His stress level has reached Critical Mass and something’s got to give. So, for us, that means that he’ll give up on of his jobs and I’ll go back full-time. This isn’t ideal and isn’t what we want for our family in the long term. But it’s time to suck it up, buttercup. We’re all sacrificing now so that we can achieve our goals. (I figure if I keep telling myself this stuff it’ll sink in eventually. In the meantime, I’m wallowing in self-pity and learning new and exciting ways to sigh laboriously as if the weight of the entire world is upon my shoulders. I’m kind of a drama queen that way.)

In other news, Maddie’s going to be the flower girl in my step-sister’s wedding tomorrow evening. I’ll be sure to bombard you with photos of my girl in her beautiful dress doing all sorts of inappropriate things. She’s supposed to walk down the aisle strewing silk rose petals out of a basket. Any bets on what she actually does? I’m betting on there being running and possibly a loud comment about “boobies!” or “pooping!” It’ll be memorable, that’s for sure.
