I made the call to a counseling center today for me and my husband. I am doing an intake with them Wednesday morning.
We need to address the MIL issue.
As much as I wanted to regale you all with the tales of S's birthday yesterday, I needed to take that energy (while the whole incident was clear in my mind) and make the appointment.
So.
I did.
This was a big step but I know that really the hard work is just beginning.
I'm so excited! My mom will be joining S and I at the Pro-Choice Rally Day at our state capitol. I am pretty sure that my mom has never demonstrated or protested anything in all of her 54 years.
She's very excited to make a sign to carry. Any good suggestions?
My sign says: If you can't trust me with choice, how can you trust me with a child?
Anyone out there today???
Anyone up for an April Fool's Day meet-up?
Happy first day of spring! No time to put in some pretty graphics but wanted to get this started.
Anyone feeling HOT-HOT-HOT?
Birthday greetings! What a journey the past two years has been for both of you.
1. S stayed dry all day today. Several potties and a poop on the "big" toilet and she was a happy girl. Seems like 2 is so young but she is leading the charge.
2. Cute kidlets in the Purim Parade at the JCC.
3. Bouncy activity at the Purim Carnival and that it tired S out!
4. My sweet girl who asked the face painter for a snake on her arm instead of a butterfly or flower or (gag) Elmo like all the other little toddler girls.
5. 'Twas a bright sunny day today.
6. Less than one week until the "official" start of spring.
7. The tangy smell of sweaty kid head.
8. Told my husband that I wanted to discuss hosting a seder for friends only - no relatives - for Passover next month.
Anyone have any ideas of how to dress a 2yo for her daycare Purim Parade?
On this late-winter day that smells like spring, I am putting my cat Charlotte to sleep. It is time. She has lived a long, happy life and is starting to falter and fail. I don't want to see her suffer.
I am so sad about this loss...
I vividly remember getting her. She was my first pet as an adult. She's travelled with me through college, a marriage & divorce and then a remarriage. She's been my constant companion through countless roomate's pets. She's lived with me on a boat, in a small town and in the heart of the city.
I hate this part of being a grown up. I hate loving something that doesn't live longer than we do. I hate that I can't explain it properly to my other cat and my dog. I hate that my pets have become less important to me since I had a baby.
I am getting started on organizing all the photos that are floating around the house. I started last night. I found a slew of pics that would be considered "erotic" and they got me thinking.
At what period of your life did you feel your sexiest? Why?
For me, the time of the pics is when I felt my sexiest. Maybe that's why I let myself be photographed? I was 25 and I was working out and eating good and I just look "healthy."
I think I am going to pull out one of those pics and use it as inspiration for my HotMamas.
