Taxi Mom ...
Jan. 19th, 2010 10:35 pmToday and tomorrow,I'm doing the "taxi mom" thing. I'm sitting outside dance class now ... Waiting. It's what I do best. Tomorrow will be the final swim lesson. I can't wait to be done with swimming lessons. I dread them all week because of where the pool is and the traffic on the way home. Swimming lets out right at peak rush hour. HATE THAT!!!
Funny to think I spent all that time and effort getting my graduate degree just to end up with the "mom job". Not that I liked my career ... Or even miss it. But I feel guilty about this sometimes. And kinda angry when my mom tells me she is proud of me. How long did I strive for that, and it seems all I had to do was check out of the "career life". If I had known that, I could have saved myself a lot of money and grief. Bleh. Don't mind me -- I'm just having a bitter moment.
Anyhow ... I started rambling and totally forgot what I was saying. Hmmmmm ...
Oh! I started a fancel today. It's kind of a dark image, so I have a feeling I'll fail spectacularly. But we'll see. I'll just hope for the best. At least it's something creative. Heaven knows writing isn't happening right now. No idea why that is, but whatever.
