One for Three

As reported my son is a newborn no longer. In these past three months I have ventured away from him 3 times. This weekend is my birthday and I will do it again. Please wish me luck since I have never had a really good time on any kind of 'baby-break' until my kid is like 10 months old and dead asleep when I creep out.

Sad, aren't I.

I know I should be all on it and confident about getting 'me time' but I don't really get 'me time'. Trust me it ain't no martyr complex I just simply can delay the gratification of a really good martini until such time that I will not be returning home to a anxious baby who has turned purple with rage and hunger.

To date me and Baby A. are one for three. When he was less than a month I went out to our coffee place bought coffee and chocolate cake; he slept the whole time, great! The second month, p-man and I went to an open house for 15 minutes and I left him with my Mom, he turned purple -- as advertised -- because our village has some idiots members that don't know how to burp a baby. The third month I went out for 'me time' vis a vis latte and a bookstore for 54 minutes... I returned home to this. Oh, the look you can get from such a little person, who knew. He breastfed as soon as I got home for 20 minutes solid the whole time communicating -- 'what were you thinking?... I mean where were you?? ... I thought you were never coming back, you know??? Yes, I know.

So as I say... this weekend. Late night pool tables, a good single-malt menu and a-what-have-you-dessert menu will do just fine, honey. Don't count on me to take on a 5 course meal and enjoy myself. Besides, last time I checked another birthday will be upon me before I f'ing know it!
