Technically, the moment two people in a relationship become 3, you're a parent. But I was thinking this morning as Morgan had a "stomp-feet-eyebrows-crunched-down-full-frowny-face tantrum," I was pretty impressed. I mean, she's only 27 months old. Once you are too impressed to properly respond to a good old fashioned hissy fit, THEN you're a parent. I think I said something non-committal or passive, like "Too bad" or "Then it's my turn to dress you." I didn't say "Good job!" On that note, I did tell her "good job" as she was feeding the cats, and Morgan stopped, looked up at me from her crouched position over one of the cat's dishes, and said, "Mommy, I'm not done yet." I think I bit the inside of my mouth, trying not to laugh.
I've actually read in the past few days. Like actual books, with paper and ink! I read Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman. Which you need to read NOW. Wow, it's hilarious. A father goes to the store to buy milk for his two children's cereal, but more importantly, his tea, when he runs into some - adventure. The story is him telling his son and daughter about it. The other is The Lies of Locke Lamora. I'm not so sure about this one yet. I've knew a couple of my friends have read this and loved it. The city is really cool, with interesting nooks and crannies and cool side things that may be interesting later. But I can't get into the characters. A couple of them swear A LOT, and it looses something for me. (Even though I like swearing... ) I'll keep reading. It's one of those LONG high fantasy novels. It does have funny parts, so it's not like Erikson who goes on and on and on; and on and on. (Though his Malazan Books of the Fallen series is amazing.)
Ugh - Passover is coming. ("Winter is coming!") I have two seders to go to this year - my parents' and a vegetarian one with new friends. Fortunately, they aren't all I'M AWESOME BECAUSE I DON'T EAT ANY MEAT. And they're lesbians. Lemme continue with stereotypes. lol Their son, Elias, is friggin adorable & I can't handle it. My bestie, Victoria (2 in May), is coming, too. Her om texted me last night and said that V told her that she loves Mimi (what she calls Morgan) and I "to the moon and back!" OMG. I about melted into a Rachel Puddle. <3 <3
Alright - back to work a bit, then pick up my little munchkin. <3
