My Glamorous Life!
Check it out:
The other day I was feeding baby D. She's yelling at me as usual, because I'm not shoveling the food in fast enough. I'd just given her a big scoop of chicken & rice, peas, and applesauce, when suddenly...
She sneezes, and I'm now wearing said mouthful. I even had food on my glasses. It was such a Kodak moment, I wish someone else had been there to take a picture, then point and laugh.
My second example: The other day, I'm running around after the Early Intervention folks left. I reach up to fix my hair (which is perpetually in a ponytail or a really big clip). It feels like I've got a huge knot in my hair, so I take my hair down and investigate. There's a velcro tab (from a diaper) stuck in my hair. I have no idea how it got there, but there it was. The first thing I thought was "wow. these women were in here, probably saw me with a piece of DIAPER in my hair, and didn't say anything??" Cripes. I just don't know how much more glamour I can take.
And speaking of Early Intervention, we're almost at the end of our first week. The girls are doing better than I'd expected. No one cried or had a meltdown. But already this whole experience is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Sunday night I'm a maniac cleaning because I'm expecting folks on Monday morning -- No one shows up. When I called to find out what had happened, the case worker tells me that we're not starting till TUESDAY...and I'm thinking, "I'm not crazy. The bitch told me Monday". She wouldn't cop to it. Whatever. On Tuesday (during her FIRST visit, and her FIRST interaction with my kid) the speech therapist told me that I should seriously consider a neurological evaluation for S. because she frequently "stares off into the distance"...shit. I do that all the time - does that mean there's something wrong with MY brain too?
Now, I realize that these folks want to keep your kids in their programs for as long as possible, because that's how they get paid. But to try and scare parents into thinking there's something wrong with your kid? That's just wrong. And today, they cancelled the OT services. Which was no biggie for me because I'm really tired today anyway. Tired of being social mostly.
I'll be back tomorrow to bitch about my weekend, and there's plenty to bitch about.

...don't answer that.

I hear Sheila E singing in the background "the glamorous life!" I was in the mall with liam the other day and caught a glimpse of myself in the department store mirrored columns (so evil!). I looked like who-did-it-and-ran. Tshirt with baby food on the sleeve, wrinkled shorts, and hair falling out of ponytail. Not sure HOW the college boys working at the ballcap store contained themselves when I walked by.
