Does anyone watch Degrassi? I clicked on to it tonight, I haven't really watched this current series at all, but I was faithful devotee during the junior high and high school series. Anyway, there was a girl telling a girl she loved her, "like really, really love you." and it reminded me of a my first and only girl crush. Yes, I had a girl crush. I was 16 and never in the two years we were at school together did I say a word to her. (So no worries, Lisa, it wasn't you!) I looked at her picture a few years ago and I can't say I know what the attraction was.
Isn't it amazing how quickly the media descends on a place after something terrible happens? And how quickly they find the victims of previous incidents? I'm watching Dateline's coverage of the Virgina Tech shootings. I wonder what was going through that guys head to do such a terrible thing to so many people.
Why have I recently become so obsessed with sex? I have no idea what's going on and I'm almost frightened by it. It's a subject for an entirely different blog.
So is my weight. Seriously...what the hell? I am gaining like there is no tomorrow. I need to become accountable to myself for my lack of weight losing motivation. Hmmm...no question there. Just a ponder, then.
Is it bad that today, a day after coming home, I was totally ready to go away again? Don't answer that, I know it was. It's just that Sophie cried all day. And followed me around, speed crawling her way to wherever I was. And then she'd grab my leg and stand up and not let go. A part of me loved her neediness but another part was wondering why I didn't go away for a week. Roll on 9 months. Oh, and the breastfeeding? She's still a go. Which did make me happy.
Another ponder...today I discovered that I have to go back to work in 5 weeks. Oh God. I could cry. Yes, I want baby free time, but not at work. I really don't want to go back. I know I was lucky to get a year but I'm cursing myself for leaving work 2 months early. I wonder what I could do to stay home. Bloody immigration get a move on. Please, please, please.
And that's all. The thought of going back to work has been too sad to say another woed. Count yourself lucky.

Really hope immigration get a move on for you. Maybe something will happen in the next 5 weeks....
When Mollie was younger she always 'paid me back' when ever I left her overnight (not that it happened very often). She would have a great time at her granny's or aunties then would be grumpy and whingey for me when I got home. It only lasted a few years!
I do have to count myself lucky that I don't have to work (though I really should.. - what with the debt and all..) - but I really don't take the time to tell jeff just how much I appreciate his working for both of us. Nor do I live up to my end of the bargain most of the time (what with floors that you can not, EVER NEVER eat off of).
oh, sweetie! I am so sorry that you have to go back so soon. Is there something you could do from home? My mom and dad recently started selling used books on Amazon and are making really good money doing it. (well, my mom does it mostly by herself) and she is having a blast. it's a lot of work- about 40 hours a week, but she does it mostly at night as she plays tennis all day.
and I agree with Beccy- that you are getting some pay back. it would only be worse if you had been gone a week.
I never watched Degrassi.
I had many girl crushes..and still did well into my 20s and even 30s. I still have one now...but I do wonder what the attraction was with some of my old boyfriends? Jeez.
Sex...is on the top of my "to do" LOL list now that the stress of work is gone..unfortunately Mother Nature has a sick sense of humor..because my period arrvied first thing Sunday morning. So "Operation Have a Lot of Sex While You Aren't Working" isn't a go til mid week when Aunt Flo leaves town.
My weight...is an issue...I'm becoming obsessed with too.
I have not watched one second of the Virg. Tech stuff..the only way I knew was by logging onto MSN yesterday.
I need some time away..but it won't be without the baby.
I'm on the beginning end of "being off" so I can't comment yet..but I know in 4 or 5 months when it's time for me to go back...I'll be in the same place you are.
I have caught a couple episodes of the new Degrassi. It brings back so many memories when I do! I love that there are some of the ex-kids on it. Plus, seeing pieces of Toronto makes me miss it, so it's all good!
I've also caught this show called Whistler. It's pretty bad, actually, but the fact that it's Canadian means I HAVE to watch it. It airs at 4 o'clock in the morning here on the teen network, so I tape it and watch it later.
Start making those cards and selling them! That way you can stay home!
Emma,
It stinks, you miss them, you miss them, you see them, you want them to go away!
Really, you're not the only one, don't feel bad, you're human!
Going back to work sucks! I would love to be able to stay home with my kids, but, my income is very much needed. At least you did get as long as you did.
Time away from home is always good, but sometimes you get spoiled, lol.
My kids always did that when I went for any period of time. They still do. Izzak has been attached to either me or his dad since he got back from outdoor school when we are home and he's 12!
I'm still jealous of the fact you get a whole year in Canada when you have a baby. The US really needs to progress in that area! But I understand its hard to go back anytime!
Some of these questions seem fun to explore. But others, such as your feelings about going back to work, are much heavier. It must be so tough to go back to work after a time off to be around your kids.
i want to hear more about this girl crush...
and work? haven't you seen how much your blog is worth??? sell.
Oh how I hate work, so sorry you have to go back soon. :(
Just found your blog, sorry to hear you must go back soon.
I would be flattered but am dying to know who it was although I have some ideas... Lisa in Vancouver
Ah, Degrassi. I've been tempted to watch the next generation many times, but it's just not Degrassi without Wheels or Joey Jeremiah. Do they ever make an appearance?
