Another Monday

I was stuck at work today, which really sucked because I didn't do much of anything. One of those very unproductive days. Tomorrow, on the other hand, I will be in meetings all day long, but probably still not very productive. I hate meetings. They suck.

I worked from home one day last week, but was only able to get a little work done when Sofia decided to nap. And for some reason she has been taking 30-minute naps. That day in particular, she took a grand total of two naps. 30 minutes a piece. So, working was tough, but we did work on her crawling technique. No, she can't crawl yet, but I think she's catching on. I can tell she wants to get to something when I put it out of her reach and she starts making these crawling motions. It's funny, it looks like she's swimming on the floor. So I've been getting behind her and pushing on her feet and she manages to push herself toward whatever she wants. She's been fussier than usual, and I wonder if she'll start teething soon. She's been chewing everything in sight, so maybe.

My group at work got a new boss. Announced last week, effective in about a week. All I can do is hope that he's not an asshole and that he's fair. I mean, I know the guy, but you know how you can know people and think they're cool and all and then you get them into a management or higher-up positions and suddenly they turn into assholes? Yeah, well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that that doesn't happen here. He invited everyone out on Friday to happy hour at a bar near work and bought everyone a few drinks. Funny enough, I went since Robert was home for Sofia, just to make an appearance, but I ended up not even hanging out with the people I work with. I stayed for a few beers, but I missed my little one so much I couldn't take it and went home. She was very happy to see me. It made my day.

Happy hour was pretty dorky. I used to go all the time because Robert used to work every Friday night until 12:30 am so I'd go with friends, but that shift stopped when I was pregnant. It seemed a lot more fun back then, but not so much on Friday. There is always some drama going on. It was weird being in a bar. I hadn't set foot in one in over a year. Since before I got pregnant!

Hmmm, this weekend we also bought a book about sign language for babies (who knows? It just might work!). Has anyone out there tried this? We ordered the movie Melinda and Melinda but didn't finish it, and I was a sucker and joined a children's book of the month club. I ordered some books and got ten books for two bucks. Of course, I probably missed some fine print and owe them one of my future children, but I did it anyway.

On another note, I guess my delurking post wasn't quite a smashing success, as I only got four comments. But it's the quality, not quantity, right? AND I LOVE those who commented! So thanks!
