Her expression reminds me of how I felt a few days after bringing my son home from the hospital. He was really a good baby, didn't cry unless he was hungry, uncomfortable, or needed to be changed. I'd had a C-section and was living with my parents, so I was exhausted in every way. It was Thursday night, and I had just finished giving him his evening bottle. I turned to my mom and said, in all seriousness, that I couldn't wait for the weekend. We just looked at each other and started laughing.
It was then that it really and truly hit me, and I thought holy shit, what the hell have I done? And now I'm truly stuck! LOL. That was 34 years ago and we still laugh about it.
