Bad Mommy

How sad is this? I’m sort of looking forward to this second date this evening. (Yeah, I know. Don’t get excited or anything.)

But much, much, MUCH moreso? I’m looking forward to an evening minus a nearly-two, screaming her head off, mad because she doesn’t get what she wants, teething, pissy toddler who’s normally a sweet, funny angel. Who IS this child?

Please tell me this is about the teeth and is temporary.

    Hope you are having a great date…or at least a good few hours of respite from the wrath of toddlerhood!

    Can’t wait for the update.

    Eh, enjoyed myself, but it was more about some time away.

    He was WAY into me (admitted as much, even). I’m still just not feeling it, even though I’d like to. No sparks.

    Third person to meet on this match go-round, and I’m already tired of it. Bah humbug. I’d rather just have friends. They’re much less complicated.

    Oh, and I should also say…Maya? Turned into a complete angel as soon as we left the house. She’s ALWAYS the perfect child when she’s at her grandparents’ house. Always.

    Isn’t that the truth! Here’s hoping teething is done soon (Baby Motrin is a good thing). The wanting her way thing, though, I believe is referred to as those “terrible twos”. But they do so many fun, sweet things to make up for it!

    Baby Motrin runs a far distant second to baby tequila shots.

    Allison, Love it! It’s great to see other confident, go-getting single moms out there. Here’s to you!
