I impress myself

I have become the ultimate multitasker. Today, while driving back from an appointment, I was driving a standard while eating sushi and changing the radio station. Talent.

5 pound german chocolate cupcake

We went to the public market this morning. And I went to my favorite bakery, Jon Johns. And got a german chocolate cupcake that must have weighed at least 5 pounds. I was going to take a picture, but I only thought of I after I had eaten the top off. And I ate it all in one sitting. Now I feel slightly sick. Maybe it is because I have had nothing g of substance to eat today – I had a breakfast sandwich, a cup of coffee, a coke, some banana bread with nuts, and now the cupcake. Ever since I had this baby, I have had the worst diet. Which is not good, since I am nursing. And oddly enough, since nursing started, all I want to eat is sweets. So weird.

slightly agoraphobic?

I am starting to wonder if I may be just a little bit agoraphobic. My world is getting smaller and smaller, by my choice, and if given the opportunity, I usually want to be home.
I realized this when I was getting my hair cut this morning. I went to a new hairdresser, here in Irondequoit. And it dawned on me that my bank, my grocery store, my home, my hairdresser, my child's pediatrician, my child's day care, my eye doctor, and now my job are all in the town I live in.

And then I started to think about all the opportunities I have to get out with the world, and I would rather stay home. For example:
going to the movies vs. watching at home = Home
going out to eat vs. take out = Home
shopping at the mall vs. ordering online = Home
going to a crowded amusement park vs. a walk around my neighborhood & reading a good book = Home
going to a friend's house vs. being home with my family = Home
holidays at the family's or at my house = Home

You get the picture. This really hit home (no pun intended) tonight for me though, when we agreed to watch our neighbor (and good friend)'s children when they were at a family wedding. I had to pack my daughter up to go to their house. And granted, it was bedtime. But she had an amazing day today, all giggles and smiles and jumping and climbing. And then she was miserable when we left, she was miserable when we were there, and she was miserable when i finally decided to leave and drive home. And the minute I took her out of the truck and started to walk into the house, she stopped crying and calmed right down. She knew she was home.

So, this begs the question.... is this getting to be a little bit of agoraphobia or am I just being overly sensitive?

I dont even know what to think

addicted

I recently read an article about how stay at home moms and new moms are becoming addicted to the Internet, mostly because it is their link to the world outside of the house. I can totally see this. But what is more interesting is that psychiatrists are considering this to be a diagnosable mental illness. I wonder how many people I know would be diagnosed besides myself....
