When you disappear for from cyberspace,nobody can hear you scream.
I’ve been off the grid,more or less,as I prepare to take Wife and Baby down to see his grandmother,aunt,uncle,and cousins. It’s his first trip to my hometown,since our battle with bed bugs made travel impossible until now. Sadly,it’s the first time my sister has seen her nephew,and only the second since my mom saw Baby when he was a mere six weeks old.
As a result of the upcoming week,a 24/7 episode of When Bubbies Attack,I’ve been tied to the desk,trying to get ahead at work,and been packing mad crazy. It’s amazing once you have a baby how much extra crap you have to take on trips —an exponential increase,not a geometric one.
Baby is still having nutso wake-up times —give me 4 a.m.,we’ve got a bid at 4 a.m.,do I hear 3:30 a.m.,I got a bid at 3:30 a.m.,do I hear 3 a.m.? —so my brain remains the consistency of a vat of gazpacho.
I won’t have a computer for a week.
I’ll return tanned,rested &ready.
Ha.
We’ll look forward to hearing your horror stories on your return.
Have a great trip! Tanned,ready and rested? Does your family live at Club Med? Have a nice drink with an umbrella in it for me,okay?
Have a safe trip! Nixon said he’d be tanned,rested and ready and look what happened to him. Doh!
Have a wonderful trip and be sure to get your badge from Neilochka –all the suffering should not be in vain. Oy.
Hope the trip goes well. We’ll miss your humor while you are gone.
babies rule the worldlol
chk my new post woul love you 2 opine
Enjoy the trip. The only babies I’ve dealt with of late are ones I could give back at the end of the day. Your stories have me looking forward to fatherhood. No. Really.
“Baby,uncategorized”has an oddly alluring ring to it.
Enjoy your trip!
Have a great computer-free week. Can’t wait to hear the travel-with-baby stories when you get back.
I hope you get at least…let’s say…6 am while you’re away.
Have a great trip. Looking forward to your return!
once upon a time (like a year ago),i used to blog on wordpress and \
would also come leave you lots of comments that i thought were
totally cute and very,very pertinent to whatever thing(s) you
wrote. also,i was hysterically snarky. but in a really subtle,
look-for-the-hidden-meaning kind of way. just ’cause i’m like that.
then a violent tornado hit,and took me to a faraway land where a
wicked witch tried to steal my swanky shoes until i clicked them
together. and now i am home,and realize i never actually had to
leave.
that’s my version of my story,at least. the real version is much
more depressing (though with an uplifting ending) and far less
exciting.
i am horrified (horrified!) by your bedbug struggles. from now on,
i will be taking one of those blue light things into hotel rooms
with me.
but i am delighted to see that all is well with Baby,et. al.
and in october,i will get to have all your baby fun too! (but no
bedbugs,fingers crossed.) so i am greatly looking forward to hearing
the tale of the attacking bubbies. i wish i had some bubbies to
write about…well,i do. but they don’t like it when i call them
bubbies.
Sounds like a nightmare vacation. The kinds that I have.
