I think I had a Moment
Oh you know, one of these I-can't-believe-I-can-take-a-piss-without-someone-interrupting moments. The ones parents often get at any old time a day when the kids are sleeping or otherwise occupied (or in my case the kid's occupied AND I have no one from work chirping in my ear or e-mail inbox).
Anyway, mine was in the most unusual place. In my car, eating a good ole fast food burger for lurch (with lettuce and ketchup escaping the back of the bun and landing somewhere mid-thigh on my pant leg. Thank God for blue jeans!). Granted it wasn't the most relaxing lunch (or ideal). But what does one do with a day of back-to-back meetings comfortably surrounding her monthly OB doctor's appointment for the impending new baby? It was the only time I had to eat! And, well, for myself.
Speaking of which... now I am off to feed those that interrupt that Me Time. So, go find a moment for yourself. It's good for you!
