The grandies have their grandson for the overnight, so they want to have the Boo* sleep-over too. I’m so OK with that I just can’t even describe my contentedness. Remember when she was under one and I would have a panic attack if she spent the night with them? Yeah. Things are different at 22 [...]

weaning?
March 10, 2008 – 2:31 pm
In two and a half months, the Bird will be two years old, and I will have reached my nursing goal. I’m ecstatic about that, and I think that someone should maybe buy me a trophy. It could have the Artemis of Ephesia on it, or Hathor. And she can also have a keyboard and [...]
on being mentally exhausted and also, a mother. and a wannabe bitch.

OMG does this make me a post-post-feminist?
I grabbed Bitch off my shelf of books I have had forfreakingever but haven’t read. I’m like 3 pages into the introduction and I’m seriously annoyed that every single example Elizsabeth Wurtzel has given of bad-girl-ness involves women engaged in sexy badness, being the bad girl of men’s wet [...]

Dear medical establishment,
No worried new mama should ever be handed a piece of paper that says
“failure to thrive”
unless her baby is sickly, or lethargic, or developmentally delayed, or malnourished, or otherwise actually failing to thrive. Moms of active, happy, bright skinny kids do not need this ridiculous worry infecting their consciousness. That goes double when that mama [...]

This one is too much fun. The sounds fucks up a little but it’s listenable
I have the house to myself All. Night. Long! w00t! Bu’s in Pittsburgh teaching, the little bit is at the grandies’ and I’m off to rent an “artfag” movie that Bu would hate. (Souster recommends Perfume.) Then I’m going [...]

Edit: lol.. you guys probably think I was on crack titling this post “mindfullness.” I actually started a post about a new meditation/anxiety management idea, but I just decided to write about my day of arrrrgh! instead. Then, stuck in the arrrrgh!, I forgot to change the title. Thanks for the suggestions so much; we’ll make [...]

I’m settling down, slowly. I just keep freaking out. Molly had her check-up yesterday, and has gained 4 or 5 ounces since her 9 months visit. The RN who weighed her said it’s very common for babies to lose or stop gaining for a bit when they start walking. (She also, incedentally, asked if she [...]

Remember this?
Just thought I’d revisit the cuteness when the Crazy Hip Ones posted a call for unusual sleep photos. Appropo for today, sorta… absorbed in design, no time for Molly. Gack: I’m feeling a particular hatred today of being a WAHM on the weekends when I’m a work-away mama all goddamn week. Molly’s at the [...]

Some random pop culture stuff & blog musings:
I suppose I am the only person in the American Idol viewing audience who 1) loved Elliott’s hair 2) did not mind Elliott’s song, and 3) did not notice Elliott’s teeth. In my defense, 1) I LOVE shaggy hippie hair on men. And women too, for that [...]

I can be a wife. I can be a mom. I am good at both.
Somehow, though, doing both at the same time eludes me. What’s up with this? It’s like I have a finite amount of love/giving energy and Molly needs it all. I’m annoyed with Bu for stuff that used to slide, and he [...]
