Happy Ending

As we were leaving last night Kadin was a little unhappy about it. Then when we stopped at the 7/11 for Diet Coke he was even more unhappy. It got so bad that we had to pull over on the side of the road and I had to try and console him.

Kadin continued to cry like I have never heard him cry before.

Without putting him in his car seat (because I could not make him stop crying, and folks believe me when I say it was really bad) we drove home as quickly as we could.

On the way back Kadin became somewhat calm. I myself was not.

As I waited for Hasan after getting out of the car I paced the parking lot with Kadin. He let out a little burp.

My night was not meant to be.

As I stood in the bathroom later that night and took off my new outfit, took out my contacts and put my glasses back on and washed my face of make up, a lot of things ran through my mind. I found my disrobing very symbolic.

Now those who know me know I'm not a very deep person but they also know what kind of life I lived up until 15 months ago.

Having a baby changes everything. And I say without hesitation - for the better.

Oh and to top it all off it appears both our dogs have fleas and or ticks. Hasan is off to the vet this morning.
