Mommy is cranky. She says she is "getting back-doored" by another real estate agent. She says it is costing her a lot of money. Even though Mommy is pretty sure she would win, she says she doesn't want to deal with the headache of arbitration, and the whole situation is making Mommy really irritable.
Well, I know just what mommy needs. Mommy needs a night out. Luckily, I overheard her talking to her friend H about trying the new sushi and sake place around the corner.
Mommy tells me I am a smart girl. She is right. So smart in fact, I was able to find this research on Google. It turns out, having some time to herself, such as a night out with friends, makes Mommy a better mom. Read this article or this article.
Mommy's night out is fun for me too. I get to have some quality time with Daddy. This means I get to do things like jump on the furniture, eat whatever I want (cookies for dinner please), and I get to stay up late.
Mommy gets to relax over sushi (and sake) and vent to her friend about work. Afterward, she feels much better, and the next day she is ready to spend some time quality with me. After a short break, my 99th request for a cookie seems a little more tolerable, and my whining might not be quite as shrill. (I keep trying for new octaves though).
PS. I also have a little secret. I know how much Mommy misses me when she goes out with friends. Especially if she stays up late. So, I make sure to get up EXTRA early the next morning so she can spend more time with me. It is the least I could do.
