What have I ever had to do in my life that really needed to be done? I always had a choice, and I always took the easy way out--we always took the easy way out. At our age the burden of double maths on a Monday morning and finding a spot the size of Pluto on my nose was as complicated as it ever got for me. This time round I'm having a baby. A baby. And that baby will be around on the Monday, on the Tuesday, on the Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I have no weekends off. No three-month holidays. I can't take a day off, call in sick, or get Mum to write a note. I am going to be the mum now. I wish I could write myself a note. I'm scared, Alex. Rosie
