Human nature is above all things lazy.

I'm way too lazy to be a mom. This little person relies on me for absolutely everything. He can't feed himself, wipe his own butt, and half the time he even needs me to help him fall asleep. I have to carry him around the house. If he's awake and I need to shower, he sits in his bouncy seat in the bathroom and the 5-minute countdown to Jack MeltDown begins. It's a constant struggle of is he hungry? does he need a diaper change? what can I do to entertain him? It's crazy. I genuinely miss zoning out in front of my computer all day with silly games or watching old episodes of House. Now I'm lucky to get a couple of half-hour jaunts of me-time during the day when he's napping in his swing. It sucks.

Speaking of things that suck, I went back to work this week. A few weeks ago while still on maternity leave, I got a call from Big Name Pharmacy telling me that my position had been made redundant and they were letting me go. So naturally, I freaked out. But luck would have it that a clinic pharmacy in Dan's parents' town was looking for a tech. I basically rocked the interview and signed on for 25 hours per week, split between Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. It's not as fast-paced and fun as the corporate store I worked for, but it's a paycheck.

Remember the test I talked about Dan taking in my last entry? He did awesome on it. This company got something like 300+ resumes. They narrowed it down to the top 60 to invite to take that test, and the top 20 scores of those are the people they REALLY want on the ground floor of the company. Dan is part of that top 20. So now he's 2 weeks into a 15-week course of computer classes to ensure he knows what he needs to know to help run this company. Which means Monday through Friday 8am-4:30pm he's in class.

Translation: Jack is in daycare for 3 days a week. Boo. But it's an in-home thing with a girl that Dan went to school with, so at least it's not a total stranger watching my kid and 20 other babies. At most, she has her own toddler, Jack, and a 6 month old girl, then 2 older kids after school. So yes, it sucks, but it could be worse. And she's cheap at $75/week.

So back to how lazy I am... I started typing this entry like, 3 days ago. I'm awesome.

Jack is 3 months old tomorrow, and there's a lot of crazy stuff happening right now.
