fleaDespite another loooong night (Casper is all better, but her napping/sleep schedule seems to be verfuckt; also, note to self - when it is 7 zillion percent humidity, even if it is not hot we will all sleep better with the air conditioner on) I am feeling good. Maybe crash will come later. Good must be due to orange shirt, which is gernering compliments. I am so surprised I am even functional, since I was having a hard time staying awake yesterday afternoon with the amazing non-napping baby.
As an alternative to stressing about big possible real estate hoohah, am now stressing (AGAIN) over nanny taxes situation. Apparently the IRS has no specific rules about our nanny situation, but rather requires us to interpret what rules there are. (Nanny appears to be a household employee for the household in which she does the caregiving, but not for the other families in the share. This is getting so complicated we might just hire an accountant, and really, we shouldn't have to because it shouldn't BE this complicated, and I hate the IRS.)
mr. flea has telephoned to say that he is teaching Casper to walk on her hands. He is doing the holding her body up in the air part. She seems to find this very funny. In general, she likes to be the upside-down girl.
I have a rant brewing about books about motherhood that state or imply that 1) mothering is natural, and every mother, even if she works and likes her job, really wants to stay home with her widdle darling and 2)fathers have no work/family conflict, and paternal care of an infant is not anywhere near as important as maternal. I thought this was going to be a feminist book, but it is - not.
