End of day conversations.
After being around only Wrigglebot all day when Husband comes home I am ready to talk. And so I talk. I talk about what Wrigglebot ate, how many times I had to change his nappy, what telemarketers called and the weather, pretty much I talk about my day. I glance over at Husband and his eyes are glazed over, he isn’t hearing anything and then I realise, I am not even all that interested in what I am saying, in fact I am quite bored, my days are very similar and yet still I just want to talk. The other day I was in hysterics at how mundane my conversation was and yet there was nothing I could add to it to make it more interesting.
It isn’t that I find my life boring but when it’s broken down and put into words it definitely isn’t a Steven King page turner. And so for now I just live vicariously through Husband and plead with him to share all of the minute details of his day which in contrast to mine are fascinating.

Your candid but contented insight makes me the tiniest bit less terrified that babies will inevitably turn me into a crazed mumzilla with no social skills, and no idea.
