Every single time I make a pot of coffee, I think of mom. She was, if possible, worse at waking than I am. I remember being trained as a kid to make her coffee. We had a scooper that, filled to heaping corresponded to two cups of water. Because of the silly private language we [...]

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 am never, ever going to wash my bathtub. Molly has created a beautiful Early Toddlerhood Abstract Expressionist piece that is so pretty. Her medium of choice is bath markers. She’s in a period of using oranges and blues together and somehow they aren’t mixing but are maintaining their respective hue integrity and it. is. [...]
i have to get something off my chest
February 19, 2008 – 7:13 pm
It’s a twenty pound toddler girl child who is driving me fucking insane. The night weaning? It’s over. I royally screwed up last week when she went through the 2 a.m. wake up and play spell, then with the flu… Someone tell me what the hell I was thinking? I am the poster child for [...]

The past week, Molly is waking at night, and she is pissed. Nothing works except to get up and watch a movie, or to nurse. I am almost resolved to un-night-wean. I will get more sleep that way. I honestly may see what happens if she just cries and throws a fit for a while. [...]
i feel a letter to the editor coming on
February 1, 2008 – 10:00 pm
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 [...]

Dear Dr. Jay Gordon,
Can I kiss you? Send you chocolate? Something? The Birdy went from 9 pm until after 6 am without nursing. Again. *is floored*
night weaning: day 4 (or, my baby is supergirl)
January 7, 2008 – 1:38 pm
Wow! I decided after all to just stick with Dr. G’s schedule unless things got really crazed. They did not. In fact, I actually woke her up getting into her bed when I was restless in Bu’s & my room. It was roughly midnight. I scooted her over and she fussed. She said “Num” in [...]
night weaning: day 3
January 6, 2008 – 7:45 pm
Yeah, so I won’t bore you with the details, but last night was pretty much the same as the past two. The minute long nummins are easy peasy. So very easy they are, that I’ve decided to stretch this on until next weekend!
night weaning. deep breath. here we go.

I’m starting tonight with the 10 day strategy from Dr. Jay Gordon’s website. The article is here. I’ll put a cut in the posts so you can ignore if you aren’t interested in boob drama. Like this:
