My Seussical Life for 2004 December 16 (entry 2)

(1) Thu Dec 16 2004 10:01 In All Fairness: Dave was away for a dinner with some professors and a potential faculty member, so I took the boys out for pizza last night. This meant I didn't have to cook or clean up. Then I put the monkeys straight to bed, turned on the "baby monitor," took the speaker over to my neighbors (in the apartment building--I'm not neglectful), and went to a friend's house to make Christmas treats. This was a night off. Why wasn't it enough? I had a break, so why don't I feel like it? I can never figure out this strange juggling act of parenting.

You took the kids out for pizza so you wouldn't have to cook, but then you made Christmas treats! Cooking isn't always relaxing.
