Let the dog in!

The problem with having a kid at an AMA (advanced maternal age, for all you young whippersnappers!), well, one problem, is that you have memories of life Before Kid. Like Memorial Day weekend. You Always had something going on for this weekend; someone Always had a party of some kind to go to, in town, out of town. Sure, sometimes there was trouble. A longtime relationship breakup. A car backed into my parked car. But, overall, good memories, yes, good times. Now. Not so much. Now, I am married to someone who does not even KNOW it’s a long weekend. Well, he might by now (Saturday afternoon), but I can’t guarantee that. In fact, DH has been known to go on the ferry to work, only to call me at home, saying “Uh, is it a holiday or something? There is no one on the boat. Is my office open?” Now, there is not only Kid, there are House Projects, too. Ugh.

I guess it doesn’t matter. With my current job (motherhood), there is NO LONG WEEKEND. I miss the buzz.
