bags

Am so tired. Can barely think straight. Last night, went for dinner at friends (acquaintances) house. Couple has new baby. Other guest had two-year old son. Got left in the living room with the women while the men went down to the basement to talk landscaping (no, I'm not kidding). My conversation consisted of developmental stages of toddlers, sleeping patterns and general fawning over kids. An ok night except two things: One, everyone assumes that I am completely un-maternal just because I don't fall all over myself trying to be loved by every child in the universe. Well, I am extremely maternal. I love kids, and when I have my own I will pay plenty of attention to them. Two, why does every mother see fit to ask other women the question "so, when are you going to have one?" THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK! There are a million reasons why a 30-something woman would not have any children (yet) - none of which are any of your business I might add. Furthermore, did you ever stop to think that maybe your question is hurtful? Gaaaaaa!

Ok, rant complete. In hockey news, we lost again last night. But it was 4-2 and our team is playing soooo much better. I got an assist last night (still haven't scored a goal). J got a penalty for high sticking (haha). The game didn’t start until 11pm and afterward I was so wound up that I didn’t sleep at all. All I can think about right now is how great it will feel to go to bed. Only two hours to go and I’m off for t he rest of the weekend.
