la otra mujer

si, mi espanol muy bien. no? yeah, i know - i'm on crack. anyway... i picked up matilda from daycare a day ago and she RUNS up to me - with a huge smile... one a child might have as they open the bestest christmas present ever... and says proudly... 'mommy! guess what! daddy said he's gonna get me a baby brother.. a REAL one!'

now people, i can't BEGIN to tell you what i felt at that moment. joy? confusion? anger? it was a frappacino of emotions... i looked at the only other adult near me, lex - daycare keeper, and said, 'what..' that's all i could say. she just blew it off like it was something normal kids say all the time. like 'i want a toy' or 'i need to go potty'. maybe it is something kids say everyday - but not MY KID.

anyway... i have no idea what that means - maybe nothing, maybe everything. i'm sure when i pick her up tomorrow i'll get an update.

hasta manana!
