Where the grown ups are

I am feeling much more isolated with Ruby than I did with Pearl. Perhaps this is because when I had Pearl I used to phone people while I fed her (for interminable hours).
Whereas this go around I spend the time while I am feeding Ruby repeating ‘don’t hug her head, don’t touch her eyes, leave her alone while she feeds’ and encouraging Pearl to play with her toys or listen to a book.
Today, for instance, my adult conversations consisted of one two minute phone call to Huckle, one to Fe and one to my mother. All were interrupted by some domestic emergency. I really want to talk to grown up people.
