Leave Them Kids Alone

Eh, so here I sit on yet another uneventful Wednesday night watching Dr. Phil. How long do babies stay awake once they can scoot around and crawl and such? Hmm...Cause this commercial just came on for some Fisher Price crap baby toy, and the mom was just crawling around the floor watching the kid. And all I can think is, "Jesus, how long will he play with that?" I mean, will I have time to poop in peace? Can I have a glass of wine whilst I watch the bean play with the super amusing, highly entertaining pile of plastic? You know, a more sentimental person would watch the commercial wistfully, maybe even get a tear in her eye. Barf. I'm like, "Lady--the kid is entertained. Take advantage."

Mmm...wonder if it makes me a bad to-be-mom that I'm already thinking of how to sneak in "me" moments (and if your answer is yes, have a nice tall glass of shut the hell up). I think not. Hey, if I'm happy, I'd wager that the Captain will likewise have a more pleasant existence. Ok, Jed just agreed; his opinion is, "if the baby's entertained, honey, have a cosmo." I love him.
