Body Update

So, finally something about a very important topic: body and health. Yes, I do agree that the limited time I give it on the blog reflects at least to some degree the low priority I place on self-care. Unfortunate! Since baby was born, choosing to have time just to myself has not been that important …

Blog blog blog

I feel blogged out tonight. Lots going on. Cutie girl in the bed. Work is busy, good and challenging. House is in order. Bills to pay. Interesting websites to read. Reading an old conversation on facebook with a friend – didn’t realize we’d written so much goign back to 2007 and it’s a really interesting …

More Joy

Picture this: A petite 11-month-old girl standing at the top of the stairs, holding on to the security gate with both hands. Shaking that gate. Banging her head back and forth. And screaming at the top of her lungs. I need more of that. Hanging out with my girl helps. She makes me laugh more …

Prayer

Thinking about prayer. About how important it is; how many aspects of life can benefit from prayer; how I can pray more. I think about my daughter’s eczema, which is getting worse. I’m so glad we’re going to a specialist next week, and that I’m pursuing this diet (talk about a change in attitude from …

Sleep

Were it not for this blog, I would be sleeping right now beside my adorable baby. But here I am. And with just a few updates, there I go. Long week, no nap today, I need to sleep. We saw the doctor for baby’s eczema today. He’s referred us to a dermatologist and supports my …

Digging

Tonight I really feel like complaining. I want to write out the things I want to complain about. Just one or two … please? I also do not feel like blogging. I want to sleep. Now. However, I’m going to dig a bit and write at least one thing peace-related. I’ve been noticing at work …

Milk Shake

Milky questions have been keeping me up and bringing me down. We are nearing the end of our donated milk supply. All the wonderful women who have pumped for us and donated to us aren’t able to help out anymore. I’m looking online for donors through Human Milk 4 Human Babies, but there aren’t many …

Time, Time, Time

I can’t believe the busyness lately. And I know this topic is getting repetitive. But really: where does the time go?? Up first thing with baby. Rush rush to get to work – get there 2 – 3.5 hours later (??? eating, feeding, cleaning, dressing, packing, loading car, driving, unloading car, settling baby, maybe nursing, …

Big & Little Peace

Tonight we went to an interfaith prayer gathering. They’ve been having this one for a number of years on September 11. Its focus is more broad than just the events of 9/11; the participants spoke about peace, global injustices, unity, our responsibilities as global citizens. I spoke as a member of the Baha’i community, reading …
