Dear Friends I Haven't Seen In A While,
Yes, I know you probably didn't mean it this way. Most of you were probably trying to be nice. But, for the past few months, I've gotten this a lot. I've now gotten pissy over it.
My name is Dani, NOT "Dante's and Christian's mom". When you find out that you're going to see me, please don't spend the over half the e-mail talking about how excited you are to finally see the boys. Yes, my boys are awesome, but maybe I didn't plan on bringing them. Maybe I wanted an afternoon of no terrible twos and no teething. But now I'm going to feel like an ass if I don't bring them. But for some reason you and a few others feel that they're attached. They're not, I had them surgically removed!
My life is not only defined by my kids. Yet, every single one of my friends seems to feel that I only want to talk about them in EVERY conversation. No, really, I don't. A nice "How are the boys?" will suffice and if I have something to talk about with them, I will. No 20 questions.
I love my kids. But I spend 10-14 hours a day with them most days. When I go online or talk on the phone, chances are, they're not who I want to talk about.
*sighs*
Sorry. People have been getting on my nerves lately. The past three days, it seems like every conversation I've had has been about them.
Oh, and for those who want to know, Christian (aka Goose) weighs AS MUCH as Dante (aka Duck) -- 32 lbs. Let me remind you that Christian is a year younger than Dante. Yep, we have one built like his father.
