bad mum

If you had told me six month ago that I would care about characters in a show that was so high school I would have told you were crazy. Tonight I was the crazy one. I cried during the season final of Grey's Anatomy. I don't think I watched a single episode of the first season and I could not have cared less about McDreamy and the others but tonight I watched the last twenty minutes of greys anatomy tonight in my bedroom and I cried. I had intended only to have the tv on while I was changing my bed sheets but I got caught up and stopped changing my sheets to watch my show. I could hear Poppy grizzling in the lounge room, she was a cold and has been sooky this whole weekend, I ignored her to watch all the kissing and the love stuff.
Bad mum.
Last night I went out childless and husbandless. I had to come home briefly at 10:30pm to drop stuff off before going to the next venue with my girlfriends. When I walked in the lounge I found Gus sitting by his self on the couch watching Lara Croft on tv. I changed the channel to Nick Jr, quickly popped my head in the bedroom told Mick I wasn't staying and that Gus was now watching something more suitable. I made the most of my night out and came home just after 12am. Garrett had come home 20 mins earlier and said that Gus was still awake then so he had put him to sleep.
Bad mum.
A couple weeks ago Zac asked Mick "Dad, how do you kill people?"
I'm sure that makes me a bad mum.

For anyone worried about the last bad mum here's the explanation that doesn't make that one sound so bad. Mick and Zac have recently started playing a Dungeons and dragons Xbox game together after many years of Zac only being able to watch Mick play computer games. So Zac was trying to have a mature conversation with his dad. It just didn't have a very conventional start.

I love Grey's! Those season finales get me every time with the tears. You're not a bad mum, everyone needs a little time for themselves. I hope your little one feels better soon.

had a great time saturday night, you guys did a great job, hope you raised lots of money. sounds like you had fun afterwards. ewan taped greys for me but it cut out when mcdreamy meet meredith back at his place and she had mapped out the house in candles...hope not much happened after.

at the moment i think I am in heartless wench mode...didn't cry during greys and just read A Walk to Remember where i should of cried but didn't...maybe zac and I are on the same page!
