I spent the better part of an hour yesterday talking Bu into the perfect Mother’s Day gift: a morning wandering around the East End Yard Sale. (The hipper side of town, i.e. the one I do not live in, has a huge yard sale the day before Mother’s Day every year. It is teh awesome.) [...]

We are safely in our hotel near Pittsburgh, despite the torrential rain and a teeny wrong turn that cost us .75 and 30 minutes on a toll road. We’ve been to dinner with Laura who is adorable and interesting in person- much as she is on my instant messenger, and Dan, who is freaking gorgeous [...]

Oh Yes: Grandies who take the baby off my hands because she’s possessed again because she wouldn’t nap for Bu today and I have a brochure to do and then the baby falls asleep really early so I know she’ll wake up and be up late and they say they’ll keep her overnight even though it’s [...]

And I call at 1 a.m. to come bring her home:
This morning we went to LLL and it was a small group, very informal. Emsy actually was in a very nursey mood, so for the first time I actually breastfed at a LLL meeting. The topic was nutrition- as you well know, my number one [...]

Life keeps getting in my way, so I haven’t finished the ADD article. I’m thrilled with the comments you guys have left about it- very thoughtful stuff. ‘Veeta also emailed me a link about Dr. Phil’s take which she says is-shockingly- similar to mine.
Brief summary of life this week:
Sunday: Break out with lovely premenstrual cold [...]
ADD rant: research girl to the rescue, part one
July 16, 2007 – 3:48 pm
I have some small concerns about parenting differences between my style and the grandies‘ methods. I want to avoid being really snarky or judgemental- they are delightful, amazingly sweet people with the most pure and warm love for their kids and grand kids. There are some small lifestyle things that just don’t jive with my [...]

Dr. Sears says:
Let him know that biting hurts. Pre-verbal toddlers are used to doing so much with their mouths that they don’t realize that those sharp, little teeth hurt.

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 [...]

…was what my mom called me when I was a) having a candlelit ritual in the backyard, b) extolling the virtues of tofu and condemning the meat industry, c) telling her about my “girlfriend” in Pittsburgh, or d) being otherwise Not Of the Mainstream, at least for my itty bitty suburb in Appalachia.
She would accuse [...]
