Third complete day, beginning the fourth.
Little Isabel Lorraine, love of my life. So far she likes being awake at night. She finishes drinking her milky then wants to look around at us and everything. Last night she had a long awake period, beginning at about 3:30 a.m. Lucky for mommy, during the day she seems [...]

I awoke this morning at 6:59 a.m. to a pain that hurt like a terrible menstrual cramp and ran down the insides of my legs. Considering how many false alarms I’ve had with painful contractions, I considered that this too might not be real. However, the pain was real enough I could not go back [...]
Television is So Dumb
Posted in Children, Family, Personal, life, tagged Children, Family, life, Personal, television on September 21, 2009 | 4 Comments »
My daughter spent 4 1/2 months living with her father this last winter and spring. In our house, she does not watch television and movies are limited, nor does she play idiot, I mean video games, or ever listen to music on headphones. (She is a Waldorf student, after all, and I have followed these [...]
Why are the Neighbors Murdering the Trees?

Two tall, beautiful trees. Cutting them down. Nothing wrong with them. But the neighbors have paid some tree murderers to come and kill them. One is gone already. The other is on its way. Trees that must be over a 100 years old. I hate this. I wish they’d leave them alone. They make the [...]

This article has been published on Huffington Post and can be seen here.
I saw several articles on 9/11 debating whether the US is safer, particularly since we went to Iraq. That 9/11 is even connected to Iraq as somehow making us safer as laughable, especially considering the only relation between the two is that 9/11 [...]
No Baby Yet

No baby yet. Just kind of lumping along. I feel like a lumbering cow and must admit to being glad not to have gained any further weight since the last midwife appointment. Right now the baby is wiggling so much it is driving me nuts. She has not been this wiggly all at once in [...]
Labor Day

People have been calling to ask me if I have had the baby. My sister called to check. Why is it she thinks I wouldn’t tell her? You have to call me when you are in labor she said. Duh. I will. And mom too. And his family. And our friends. We will tell. Come [...]
