We took Simone to the Pediatrician for a "wellness" visit. Refused MMRI until she's older, thankfully with no hassle or debate, but when it came time for the doc to ask questions about diet, she was very nasty about me still breastfeeding. Guilty, are we? I explained that I eat as vegan as possible, and want to protect my daughter from the life ( Read more... )

Simone is 1 today. I honestly cannot believe it has been more than 5 months since she was born. It's a curious thing how you never truly understand your parents until you yourself have a child.
Most wrongs are forgiven, and nearly all decisions understood. I finally get it.
Thanks mom and dad.

I need to go play with my little girl now!

Simone is walking ONE HER OWN!!!!!!!
It started this weekend, and we got it on video, but sheesh are we in for it now.

Emergency room, here we come!

I'm anchored to this chair like I've been glued here, or fused. I've got two halves of my heart sleeping in the next room, yet I am weary to join them. I want to, but I wait.

Jeremy didn't turn the alarm on, or he didn't run it up or something, so we didn't wake up till 7:15am. That's when we should be leaving.

So now I am bored ( Read more... )

And it doesn't help that I got all dressed sexy, leopard shimmery dress, tall gogo boots, wild hair, copper eyeshadow, only to spend the whole ride home yelling at Jeremy for where we are in life and all this shit we have to do, but never gets done, because he's unmotivated ( Read more... )

Is there sexual tension between us, or am I experiencing hormone displacement?

I cannot stop her. I cannot blockade her. I cannot fence her in. She is a mighty, mighty force of unstoppable power and energy. She is her father's baby. I'm totally ready to go back to work, and have him be the at-home parent, but then that would suck for me....I think ( Read more... )

Spent much time talking to 3 of my closest friends, yesterday. One is sunburnt, one is distressed and one is giddy-happy-alive. So it was a nice well-rounded day of conversation, giggles and introspection ( Read more... )

It's so strange, how when my child MIGHT be in danger, I am an evil tigress waiting to pounce on anything, yet when there is a real emergency, I froze ( Read more... )
