big steps, baby steps

Today, I started looking for a new job in a new city.  I have found two interesting leads. So far, I've written a cover letter for one, but haven't sent it out yet. My resume is all snazzy.  But I am oddly hesitant and I can't figure out why.  Maybe I don't want to go back to work yet. I do, and I don't I guess...

In baby news, Theo finally drank regular milk! Hopefully now it means it less will wind up everywhere else. He also drank juice from a sippy cup willingly today! This all sounds very mundane to anyone else, but since I took away the formula, it has been a struggle to get any liquids in this little man.

As I type this, I am trying to get him to bed. This is always a tricky time. I put him in his crib, and at first he resisted, but then happily starting playing with toys. But then I made a huge mistake...I looked at him. Eye contact was made. Whenever I make this mistake, I feel as horrified as Orpheus and Eurydice. Because as soon as I make contact, he started screaming. He remembered, oh she is trying to put me to bed, I am in bed, Arggh! Waaah! Tantrum! If you ever, have a child, resist the temptation.

I gave in and let him out of bed. Now he is hugging my chair, and holding onto my shirt. Adorable!

I will leave today's post on a hilarious note from a scummy man (on OkCupid):

Hi,

Would you ever consider getting together with a married man?

Mark



Wow, Mark, nice pickup line. My response was simply: No.
