I have been holding something in. I think it’s because my mother taught me not to step on people’s toes and this particular topic is incredibly tricky to handle in a non-tootsie stepping way. Well, here it goes. I am learning that parenting is this fabulous common ground that can provide for solid friendships based [...]

8 a quick little not me! monday
Aug 31, 2009 in Not Me Monday
Before the crazy not business starts: I was thrilled last week at how many friends and readers (who are friends I just haven’t met yet) de-lurked themselves via comments and emails! You guys are the best and it’s so great to get to know you… including one of you that I had coffee with on [...]
8 you capture
Aug 27, 2009 in Life With The Os
I found a new blog. It is called folding laundry. It made me cry last night when I read the author Beth’s post about aching for the loss of her two little boys. I instantly went in and snuggled OBaby. This is why I love the blogging community. Someone can share something and it could [...]
2 but i bet he had a library card
The one thing I actually have had time to do for myself lately is read. I stick a book in the side of the rocker in OBaby’s nursery and I feed my brain while I feed OBaby. I’m on my third book so far, this one is titled “Einstein Never Used Flashcards”. The subtitle is [...]
5 training for a 5k
Aug 26, 2009 in 5k 2k9, Life With The Os
Less than 3 months after OBaby’s birthday, I will attempt to run 3.2 miles. Let’s face it: pushing a 7lb 11oz human being out of my body just wasn’t enough to do this year. Actually, no this will be awesome. It has been exactly the motivation I needed to get up and get moving. Even [...]
6 it could light up the room
So, since writing this post about struggling to feel like my new (and underpaid) position is a rewarding one, I have been making an effort to look for the rewards around here. I’ve discovered that there are about a million of them*. I know I have had bouts of frustration about this whole new motherhood [...]
9 all about OBaby, not me! Monday
Aug 24, 2009 in Not Me Monday
I’ve decided that there is no “stalking” in the world of blogs. I’ve had many people confess “…Not that I blog stalk you or anything.” in true not me! Monday fashion. HI, I WRITE THIS SO YOU CAN READ IT and enjoy it, and I hope that you do. That would make you friends then, [...]
2 to the shore
Aug 22, 2009 in Life With The Os, Marriage
Let me start by saying that I already wrote this post once today while OBaby was sleeping peacefully and all was right in the world. Then I hit “publish” and O MY WORD my log in had expired and I LOST EVERYTHING. Don’t worry, OBaby’s door was closed and he did not hear the string [...]
