Two dreams this morning

First dream – I was working on decluttering & cleaning my house, and making progress … I had several great open spaces and clean surfaces! (Too bad I see no way to TRULY do that in this house.)

Roseart Magnetix are dangerous!

A Quote: This letter comes from a local midwife’s client whose son was injured… “The word needs to get out so that Roseart, the maker of Magnetix, will be forced to do the right thing by comsumers.

John Luke tried “real” food!

Yes, at 4 months, we have already allowed the baby a taste of big-people food. We were having rice, and since rice is one of the things that they recommend starting a baby on because it is unlikely to be an allergen, we gave him some on his high chair tray. It kept him quiet the whole meal! He got […]

TV IS GOING.

MY tv – the one on my desk – is going back in my closet. It has become MUCH too much the center of my kids’ lives. It’s a BAD thing. It’s going. Today. Urgh.

John Luke is growing!

I can hardly believe it. At 3.5 months, he can reach the ground in his walker and actually MOVE it a little! He is such a delight! He reaches for his toys now and plays with what he can grasp. He loves bead-mover type toys.

Lost my diamond.

It occurred to me, vaguely, in the night, that my ring was catching on things a lot more than usual (it’s always caught on things, because the diamond sticks up a bit in the middle). I looked at it this morning, when it really registered (and I was awake) and the diamond is gone.

“No Choice”???

Oh, brother!! The political cartoonists are screeching about “no choice” in South Dakota. I beg to differ! People are no longer allowed to have abortions — to KILL their babies — in South Dakota. Yay, SD! They do, however, have a CHOICE. They *choose* whether they will have sex – “protected” or otherwise. They *choose* to be intimate with people, […]
