Business As Usual

Thought yesterday was Monday. The Chicken Pig is now doing her best Daniel Day Lewis c. 'My Left Foot' and the SAHM handbook and mafia call that creeping. She has one leg folded in front, pulls a bit with her arms while the back leg sort of pushes off like some lame frog. If it wasn't so cute-it would be sad. She walks and runs much better and prefers it, but my back can not take being folding in half most of the day. She loves to patter through the house before her bath while Da chases her. It is a great way to run her down. She is running me down fo sho. More on the SAHM handbook and mafia later. I just got over my mom cruisin' phase and it does feel cheap and dirty. I am a bought and sold woman looking for companionship and yet am not good company. Baby Sing Along is 2-morrow and it is so far, so good. A little west coast hippie, but its for the babe, so i can dance and sway.

Been having that...where do we go from here conversation a bit last week and it always ends up with, we could stay here, we could go somewhere else. What are the pros and cons, etc. I think about a big west side chicago bungalo and seeing my family all the time ( a good thing) and then i think about the mountains, healthy living and being out west ( a good thing) and then we think about somewhere half way (why bother) somewhere totally new (TORONTO?) and it just goes full circle. Papa says he will interview at Rush to see if Chi-town is a possibility and sometimes I think he just wants to me demand we go there for all sorts of reasons so the pressure is off him for once. Family is what will ultimately keep us grounded and I think our egos can handle the blow of facing the middle ground of existence as oppossed to this far out west all alone reality we have here, but it seems like a lot to give up to get a lot in return.
This never gets easy. But as time ticks, we will eventually decide.
My cousin and his wife had a long hard labor this weekend and gave b. to a baby boy. I watched Soph's first week DVD the other night and it was the happiest, most emotional, most frightening, most empowering time of our life to date for sure. I hope my cousins the same. okay.
no politics for today, though i am loving the COLBERT REPORT. I cry every time the eagle close-up squawks into my living room. "Somebody get a bucket, I think I'm gonna truth."
It's like Fox News and all that drama personality rolled into one huge satire. Love it.
okay. no picture for today...
