The copious amounts of "free time" i've learned to enjoy while the kids are in school are coming to a quick close.
Less than 8 weeks, actually.
I use the words free time loosly because I still have to deal with the ghettoplex and the stupid tattle-tale, whiney tenants that live in this building.
(note: gentleman in 116 approached Doug rather aggressively about a car leaking oil that could be a potential "slip and fall" law suit. Really? you too, guy in 116? Is there one person on the planet NOT looking to sue my building?? Fortunately, Doug handled the whole situation and the next time i saw said gentleman in 116 he was apologizing for the "misunderstanding." Whatever!)
Anyway, the whole point is I've really enjoyed having my kids in school and for as much sympathy as i get for having a husband who is freelance (i,e. unemployed a lot with an unpredictable schedule) there are some great trade offs.
Like this lovely little Puch ride around Encino today. We had some gift certificates to The Habit so we rode on over, had a free lunch and then cruised through the back streets behind Ventura until the rain started and we had to head home.
And i've included this picture for two reasons:
1. I don't have many pregnancy pictures of myself.
2. There is an uncanny resemblence between me and Marvin from 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.' We're both bulbous in the middle and bulbous on top. Ha ha. If you haven't seent this movie, go rent it today. It's so funny and random and wierd. But Sam Rockwell rocks in it, so there you go. (sorry for the tiny image, i had limited resources.)

Who's giving you sympathy? I think you've got it pretty good if you ask me. Looks like a really fun afternoon!
Next time ride over to Studio City and play with me & my unemployed hubby :)
Can I be free-lance/unemployed too! Looks like fun! We've got to get together.
Ooh. That totally looks like fun. Enjoy your time. It will be over all too soon. I guess you could strap your baby in a baby bjorn and go for a ride anyway, but that sounds like something Brittany Spears might do with her kid. So that's maybe not such a great idea.
