It has been raining all day. On four different occasions I found myself desperately trying to right an inside out umbrella and its ugly skeleton of spokes with a bundled baby strapped to my chest and a dripping dog lunging to eat some street crap. I screamed "fuck" the fourth time.
At these moments I catch myself envying people seemingly unburdened by responsibilities like students riding bikes or women with only a handbag to carry. Drivers must have watched me struggle today and thought glad that's not me. At more less frazzled moments I know I love having the responsibilty of caring for a baby (the dog not so much), but I do miss the freedom to just leave the house and go somewhere, anywhere with just a handbag.
