I used "baby" and "politically expedient" in the same conversation today. Woah.

The wrap party for NASCAR 2009 which sucked zedrikcayne life away for the last month or six weeks of my pregnancy is next week. RSVP deadline was today. Partners/spouses/Significant Others are generally welcomed at these events. I went to last year's party...it was right after we found out I was pregnant.

So he forwarded me the e-mail and asked if I wanted to go. Well yes, I do. They're playing Rockband and the location is pleasant and the drinks are good, etc. But, it's also not a place to take the baby. It's at a bar.

I pointed out that it's not really a place to take the baby, although we could pop her in the sling and I could go, and he said he didn't want to go without me, but that in fact, it's not a place to take the baby. He said "But I don't want to go without you." I pointed out that it's "politically expedient" for him to go...he really should be there...it's playing the career game. He said he'll go and make an early exit.

Fair enough...right?

Babysitter?

Not really worth getting a sitter for this. Next year, maybe. The people I most want to see (wives of some of Cayne's colleagues) aren't likely to be there-one is about to burst pregnant and the other is likely to be home with her own kids.
