Being a...

So, this delivery is going--slowly.  It's OK, I usually take a week or so to have a baby, but three days for a 1/2 cm?!?!?  Geez.  Luckily, I'm pretty patient about it most of the time, and just go on with life.  I think by the end of the week, we might see a cute munchkin!

However, there have been a few moments when I wasn't so happy (like when I burned the soup...and then to top it off, my peanut brittle didn't work--I'm not used to my kitchen adventures not working!  I'm a friggin' goddess with a wooden spoon!).  On one of these such occasions, I lamented, "I don't want to be a human anymore!"  Within seconds, my darling 6 year old daughter pipes up with, "OK, Mom, but being a squirrel would really suck."  She caught me so off guard, I couldn't help but laugh.  Of course, that is why I love my kids, they keep things in perspective--even when I burn soup.
