Too much fun last night!!!  We went down to Beale St and it was everything I'd hoped.  Dad and John joined us, and I was a little worried at first but everything worked out and a good time was had by all.  Had 2 1/2 Smirnoff Ice's which is a LOT for me, but I was more happily buzzed than drunk.  I started to get grumpy and bitchy when the buzz wore off, so I offered for us to call it a night (D&J had left a few minutes before) and everyone agreed.  Saw the fake booby girls dancing on the bar at Coyote Ugly, tried to explain to Mike that my fascination was a desire to emulate, not any kind of sexual attraction.  He didn't understand.  Margot agreed completely.  She admitted that she had some concerns that we may not all get along in real life, but I think we got along well.  

Work (can you call it "work" really?) has begun on baby #2.  And what a horrible ordeal we have to suffer through to make it happen LOL.  Things are definitely picking up in that department.  I just hope it either happens right away or not for awhile b/c of work. 

In interesting news, Tom was pushing me really hard to consider taking a year off work to be home with Spencer.  Really pushing.  And it's not the first time he's mentioned it.  I thought that me telling him how I don't work as hard at home with Spence would put him off, but nope.  He does have a good point.  Even if #2 doesn't happen, in the grand scheme of things, what's more important:  being there for Spencer in the critical early stages or being at work?  We do have certain priveleges that make the former possible that most people would kill for.  I feel like it's not fair to all the moms who want to stay at home and can't, if I can and don't.  Not that I have any responsibility toward "them".  The more I think about daycare though, the more I want to cry.  Somebody else might be there for his first steps.  Or the first time he tries peaches, or the first time he really laughs.  I'm tearing up now, so I'm gonna stop.  Just adding more big decisions to the mix.  Do I stay home even if I don't get prego over the summer just for the sake of Spencer?  My answer, of course, is "yes!", but the reality might be a little different.
