badbabywinkydinky

Bye-Bye Tinky-Winky, Dipsy, La-La, and Poe! Juliette loves the Teletubbies! She finally found people from her "culture."

Today is my birthday! I am spending the day in a messy apartment with my little girl. At some point today we will each have a bath. I will probably comb my hair and get dressed. I am also planning a trip to Starbucks this evening.

I hope to work on my lecture material and my dissertation re-organization.

Today I feel ambitious.

10:59 p.m.
So much for ambition. So much for my birthday. I took a hot shower.
I got to Starbucks. I got through most of my Cafe Americano with Almond Syrup before my cell phone rang with news of a meltdown by one tired, bad baby ( I won't name names).

Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday Dear Hilary.
Happy Birthday to you.

Calling her my little Winky Dinky over the cell phone only worked momentarily. Driving home and taking her in my arms worked much, much better.

Happy Birthday Dear Hilary.

Bad, baby, Winky Dinky fell asleep in my arms at 9:58 p.m. Sweet Dreams.
