We were supposed to meet Don for dinner last night, but his evening got hectic and my cell phone suddenly crashed.  (I don’t know how people managed before the advent of wireless, but I was just not comfortable leaving home with the baby without a phone.)  Don is sort of away on a business trip.  He and his team are burning the midnight oil on a new government proposal.  Instead of commuting 3 hours a day round trip, coming home at midnight and leaving at the break of dawn everyday for the next 2 weeks, he towed the camper to a park near the office.  He’s not actually “camping” (or so he says *grin*); just using the bed and shower inside.  There’s no point of packing up Layla and I to join him since he’s in the office until the wee hours of the night anyway.  So, baby and mommy are flying solo for a while.

I’ve realized that I can totally do the single mom gig… if I did not have to work! LOL!  Of course, if I was a single mom, I wouldn’t be able to stay home with Layla.  So, even though we’re not spending more time with daddy than we’d like, I suppose it’s better for him to have more work than he can handle than to have no work at all.

Meanwhile, I was supposed to take out the trash and recycling which are usually Don’s chores.  But the recycling can had crickets and other unknown jumping critters all around and inside it.  Needless to say, the recycling can never made it to the curb.  I ran back inside the house as fast as I could! Sorry, honey, it just wasn’t meant to be… the bugs and me! =)
