The current nanny routine sucks in one way - Tuesday and Friday I see the baby awake for about 1.5 hours total in the day. She gets up around 7, I leave for work at 7:30. Then, since the other family is temporarily living in a condo since their old house is sold but new house isn't finished being renovated yet, and the condo is impossible to get to except by car, and I don't drive and anyway mr. flea has the car in Raleigh, new!nanny drives the baby home. Except I get off work at 4:30 and the other family has care until 5:30, and so far it's been after 6 when the baby gets home. At which point she's very hungry and tired, and basically eats and goes to bed. Wah! Want baby! Depending on the rate the house goes, there's another 2-6 weeks of this.

When mr flea came home tonight he said, "I'm a little worried about myself. I barked in the car all the way home."

We've revisited the topic at intervals. "Were you barking in tune to a song, or just barking?" "Just barking."

mr flea IS in graduate school, and practically everyone i know who's attended graduate school has indulged in irregular behavior and/or tottered on the edge of sanity in one way or other. barking in the car's not that bad. and commuting by car can do strange things to a person, too. at one time, i would dissolve into giggles upon hearing talking heads' "take me to the river" on the way home from work (i had it on tape) and i had no idea why. though i was working at a christmas store in williamsburg at the time, which mr flea is not. perhaps he should stay away from that as a source of extra holiday income.

Hey, do I know you, person who grew up near Williamsburg? If you are who I think you are, you should get a livejournal as a handy tool to keep from working on your dissertation.

Ah, but I did! Check your email, o casperflea. (I thought the Christmas store reference would clue you in.) And so far it has proved quite the handy tool for avoiding the dissertation.
