If you're not a parent and are looking for an excuse to remain not a parent, I recommend spending a week in a house whose residents include a 2-month-old boy and his older brother, who is just shy of 3.
My two nephews are great, but I have very little envy for my sister and brother-in-law at this point. I realized earlier tonight that I've been up before 9 a.m. for seven days straight, something that probably hasn't happened in at least 10 years. (Those of you who have normal jobs will scoff at that, but I'm used to working nights.)
In any event, I've had a lovely week hanging out in my old stomping grounds in Portland, and in a few hours I'll be headed back to Connecticut for the very last time (yay!). The movers come Friday, so I'll have a couple of frantic days of throwing stuff into the dumpster and scrubbing the bathroom before I go.

Sorry I only got to see you twice. I'm glad you had fun with your family, though. Kids ARE exhausting. I know. That's why I don't have them. Do you know who is NOT exhausting? Beagles. Because they sleep in (or is that just mine?).
