Blog Love for Mommies

Have you read anything from Catherine Newman yet? Her parenting blog (called the Dalai Mama), or her book (Waiting for Birdy - I gotta get my copy to Val), or her column in Wondertime magazine? She is so honest and funny and... articulate? That's probably not the word I'm looking for. I, like every single one of the women who deign to comment on her blog, feel she is exactly like me and has been given the divine gift to eloquently write it down for me. The point is that I get enormous pleasure out of what she writes, sometimes the laugh-out-loud kind of pleasure and sometimes the poignant-commiseration kind of cathartic pleasure. So check it out sometime. But probably only if you're a mom.

Uh-oh. I just noticed Charlie with what used to be Sam's styrofoam cup of soil & seed. "My FLOWER!!!" screams Sammy with genuine tears. (Oh, honey. I really am sorry.) Back to my very own version of mommihood.
