Screw it

So the subject of this blog has jumped from My Music to Sharing Good Music to Commenting on Farmer's Market Produce And Other Inane Subjects to My Personal Online Diary That I Deluded Myself Into Thinking No-one Reads. Thankfully I have yet to divulge critically embarassing information to the general Internet Public (however, I fear that circumstance will rear it's ugly head in the future) and I have decided I will write whatever comes to mind, just spread it willy-nilly across the proverbial wall that is the Internet.

Still, on the other hand, I will not fool myself with the number of people who do read this blog... likely that number falls below zero, a sad but factual fact. Factual Fact? Really? Can I be more uninspiring? I believe I can!

Recently, my darling spouse and I received a feral fluff up our nether regions and packed up our entire house and daughter, tossed it all (sans the daughter, who had the dubious honor of being strapped into a car seat) into the back of a sixteen-foot Budget rental truck and drove across the great continent of North America. A three day drive, not counting the nights. Which, by the way, started at one or two in the morning when we had exhausted our supply of energy drinks and grudgingly checked into a motel. I surmise that our unofficial motto for the trip was "Get there faster than the speed of sound, and please obliterate your sanity by stuffing yourselves into the ridiculously small confines of the Budget Truck Cab."

I think this is the appropriate moment to steal a popular Canadian interjection: Oy.

Now, what would make this move to Northern Utah better? Add one slightly stressed mommy (me), minus a husband (he is now working all the time!) and an apartment to live in (Inlaws house!!! Par-tay!!!) and what do you get? Full-on Depression with a capital D.

Of course, I might be able to alleviate the pain, I suppose. I know I should go for more walks outside in the neighborhood with little Sophie and her high-tech stroller. I should excersize, and I should try to eat better. I should study! Because studying and learning is supposed to make people feel like they are worth something in this life.

But, bottom line, I don't have the energy. For anything. I thought that the time in which I get used to being a mom and incorporating Sophia into my schedule would be over now. "Life used to be life-like".... and now it is just a series of endless, numbered days.

Welcome to the World, Sophia!!! It sucks!!! You will love it!!!
