Did you know I’m eligible for sainthood? Yes. I am. I’m pretty sure that mothering a child for 23 months, 6 days, 4 hours, and eleven minutes without doing any of the following qualifies one for sainthood:
Losing my goddamned mind
Slapping, spanking, biting, or otherwise hurting the child
Killing, castrating, or divorcing her father
Selling her on eBay
She [...]
OhMahGoddess look what I found:
So, now that I have looked at this and made googley eyes at it and did not burst into tears, we know that I am definitely OK with weaning Seriously, if there were any doubts I would have just died. It does sorta make me have new baby lust. [...]
Here is a tiny mouse art doodle for Temple, the new daughterblessing for darling Urban Earth Mama Brooke. I’m doodling this everywhere and it finally struck me today that it’s a uterus with tubes and a little embryo. (Simultaneously, it’s Erzulie.)
Temple is such a pretty name I swooned when I read her introduction at her [...]
Edit: Just deleted whole text of my post and moved it to Wabi Sabi Mamas Sorry for any blips or confusion in Feed Readers. Here’s an exerpt:

I’m ovulating, which OK yeah, intensifies the primal baby-wanting that my brain has officially duct-taped and pad-locked over. (My uterus responded last night by sending a dream that I was hugely 40+ weeks pregnant with a baby boy.)
It’s adorable, because Molly has just become obsessed with playing baby. She brings me blankies (Bang-Bang) and has [...]
Oh, *swoon* Newborn babyness!
Keri Smith had her baby boy. Her blog, Wish Jar and website are such brilliant creative pieces. She never turns on comments for her entries, so that she is free of the gushy lurve I and others like me would probably post. But she has a guestbook for the baby.
From my local paper today:
The report blamed another 188 deaths on sudden infant death syndrome. More than half of those deaths were attributed to such risky behaviors as adults sharing beds with infants or mothers who smoke.
Fuck. I’m too lazy to write a letter to the editor and too pissed off to not. For the [...]
Laura, I got your beautiful card and the zines! Thanks so much. I’m taking them to bed, belly fulla cookies, to crash blissfully. The grandies are giving me a late present of a night of unbroken sleep after several insane nights of constant nursing bordering on mommy torture.
Draw a warm bath. Fill with lavendar bubbles. Plop in there with your cutey freakin patootie nakey baby. Put bubbles on your nose. Carefully transfer bubbles to baby’s nose a la “eskimo kisses.” Watch her laugh. Repeat until giddy and you have forgotten all about everything that saps your giggles.
The Scene: A crowded doctor’s office full of a stuffy, cranky, clingy Mollybird and similar peers.
Daisy: I’m worried about her congestion. She’s rattly. And her dad says she pulled at her ears.
Dr. Who Reminds Me of Wendy, an old friend: Let’s see here. *looks in ears* Ouch. Oh yeh, they’re really bad. I’m going to [...]
