I have a cold. I am so tired. I think this is the most tired I have been in the past three months. Getting up early to go to work is kicking my butt. I like being a productive member of society and having adult interactions every day. However, I go to work each morning and spend quality time with other people's children only to come home to my own child to spend the rest of the afternoon trying to get him to nap so that I can nap . Other people's kids get my son's quality time. I know it is only the first week of school and there is always an adjustment period of about two weeks each fall. Having gotten that off my chest, I like my job. I just wish I could have had a few more months at home with Ansel full time. I am sure I am beginning to sound like a broken record about this subject.
New subject...I was loading groceries into my car a couple days ago at Whole Foods. I had already put Ansel in his car seat and was putting the groceries on the seat next to him. An eldery gentleman parked on the other side of my car and as he was getting out of his car said, "Do you have a window open for the baby?" I looked at him confused (as I thought to myself that once I star the engine I'll put the AC on) and said, "I just put him in. I'm leaving." I guess the bags of groceries weren't a big enough clue that I was going, not coming. He did redeem himself by taking my cart back for me. I certainly couldn't leave Ansel in the car to return the cart after that interaction. A child in a neighboring town died from being left in a car rencently. The father forgot the child was in the back seat. But come on! Assess the situation fully before you bug people about their parenting.
