Long weekend
Jan. 11th, 2009 08:58 pmFeel free to skip this entry, considering I'm going to whine and be self-pitying. Fortunately I've (mostly) contained that attitude to my brain and here. I did snap at Tom a couple of times, but hopefully not too much. I just need a little outlet, so this is the place for it.
( cut to spare your brain... )
After Dr. Treece called me on Tuesday, he called the city to alert them about Tai's exposure to lead. On Wednesday an inspector from the city called me. They needed to check out the house. He offered an appointment on Thursday morning. Of course I agreed. We want to find out what's causing the exposure as soon as possible. So he came out and took a bunch of samples around the house. Unfortunately I couldn't follow him around to see what he was doing because Tai was awake and wanting to be entertained. He said he'll get the results in 5-7 days (hopefully not business days), which means we could know as early as Tuesday. Then he'll call and we can figure out what needs to be done to get everything fixed.
In the meantime, Tai and I have been spending most of our time out of the house. At the inspector's request. He said Tai shouldn't be crawling around in the house and Tai isn't so much of a fan of just sitting on my lap anymore. He's a boy on the move, let me tell you. He's been spending more time standing without holding on to anything. And he's even taken a step or two in between two things (like the coffee table and either me or Tom), though he's really cautious about doing so and prefers to speed-crawl everywhere.
As a placeholder - I want to write about the following in the next couple of days: 1) Further thoughts on my sexuality, and 2) the question someone asked me today, "Is it hard being a mother?"
I'm too tired to do them justice tonight.
