Sep. 22nd, 2007 10:38 pmI am home alone. Or, well, not alone because there is a baby here with me. She's asleep. I put her down earlier than normal and I am really hoping that I don't live to regret it. Sometimes she'll wake up after just a little refreshing nap, wide awake and ready to play, and when that happens... well, let's just say that it's not that much fun. M and his parents went downtown to watch Sam Bush play at the KY Folklife Festival. It's a well-known mandolin player.. M is fond of him. Well-known as far as mandolin players go, I guess. Well, that's not entirely true. Bill Monroe is well-known even beyond the realm of mandolin players and bluegrass fans, right? Anyway. They went there. I am not completely insane and had NO desire to go shlepping off in the middle of the night (8:30) after we just got home. It feels really weird to be home by myself at night, somehow.
We went again to visit my parents at their camping site at the Kentucky Horse Park today, and we ate like kings. And flies and yellow jackets. What is with all the damned bugs anyway? Must they be so very much in your way when you're outside? I try to leave outside bugs alone most of the time--it's part of my Insect Manifesto: stay out of my home and I'll leave you alone, but venture indoors and your ass is mine. These were terrible, though. I hate bugs. Do bugs have asses? I don't know if that was perhaps the best phrasing ever, now that I think about it. I am especially anti-bug at the moment because it's that time of year when all the spiders want to crawl into my nice cozy house and curl up for the winter. Bastards. Anyway! Except for the bugs, we had a really nice time. We eat very well in my family. We had two huge chunks of roast, baked potatoes, baked beans, cole slaw, hot dogs, sausage, pork chops, potato chips.. all sorts of lovely things for two different meals. It was nice. Mom and I stayed at the camper and played cards (phase 10) rather than go over to the horse park but it was still fun. Do you get the feeling that I am still sort of existing outside the fringes of a normal life now that I have a baby, just sort of avoiding doing anything that would be inconvenient for me? True true! I admire everyone who goes about their life as if nothing has changed but I can't even fathom the energy it would take to (for instance) take a baby this size to Disney World, as my former director at work did this summer. I try to avoid taking her to Walmart, for goodness sake.
I have absolutely no energy left for conclusions.
