I wake up at 6:38 am every morning without an alarm clock.
This is a phenomenon that I have never understood.
How can it be that my body knows when it is 6:38 am every day.

Well there was one morning that I slept until 10:00am or so. It was after that big string of babies that were born a couple of weeks ago. I...

I chose not to have children, not because I don't like them (I really really do!) but because I saw myself being much more of a career person and I didnt want to give the remnants of my time to a child. I've always been okay with the decision forever and ever but in these creepy times of myspace and internet stalking I'm extra relieved that I don't have to deal with that. I don't envy parents who have to protect their kiddos from this shit day after day after day because it seems the freaks are just multiplying exponentially. Good for you and what's-her-face for staying on the same page with your girl. I know it's hard when there's personal stuff that keeps you from being friendly, but it sounds like you both have your eyes on the common goal: keeping your girlie safe from the freak factor. Way to go, Mom. She WILL thank you for all this later. smilesmile

"You stepped on my freakin head you idiot" is the greatest line ever! tongue

Some people repost bulletins and send email "Forwards" just to do it, which is stupid!
So even if she did or didn't know what she was doing, she knows now. So no excuses next time.

Here's the story....

I am tired tired tired.

I have really been spreading myself thin.

I missed one appointment last week. She was really pissed. Oh yes it was the hair thing that I told you about.

I missed two others today. They were both so sweet. I hate to miss appointments!! It does however feel a lot better when people cut me a little...

Yesterday I posted this...
"Some friends you just want to keep forever and ever. So be a good friend."

I then promptly got overwhelmed with my work and flaked on a friend for lunch.
She called I didn't answer I was to busy. I had an appointment and a meeting. I forgot about the meeting.
I sent her a myspace message due to a bit...

Screw her!
She obviously has issues and you don't need to be bothered with her.

She seems like a jealous nutjob, actually.

I learned a lot about life this week.

1. It's not easy to raise children.
2. Miracles happen every day, sometimes twice.
3. Some friends you just want to keep forever and ever. So be a good friend.
4. Humble is OK.
5. The Oregon Coase is beautiful from the car.
6. and... you can catch up on sleep. Sometimes it just takes several days....

2 more boys since the last post. I ought to have a few days now before another.

I slept well last night cuddled up next to my son. It was awesome, as he has been quite the shithead.
When the stepchildren come to visit it is really crazy and disruptive to life. I know I sound like an evil stepmother, which I am not. It...

Gosh I miss you.

I am so done with my teenagers mouths. I have no more control except to take away the cell phones.
It's my youngest that has this mindset (thanks to the older ones) that she can simply get away with such ugly talk. Then she regrets when she wants to do something that I remembered what she said.

"mom but Madi blah blah blah" It is such hard hard work to remain consistant. If I dont however I hurt them.
Interesting is they will not speak to me like this in front of other people. This tells me they know exactly what they are doing is wrong.

Im going on this long train trip with all of them. As a mom I want to make these memories, then I hear the complaining that they dont want to go.

Then they do. Then they dont. I have a few weeks to either change the trip up with or without them.
I'd feel badly if I went without them YET I WANT TO.

Then I feel guilty for this. I mean is it a vacation or a long drawn hidden plan to "lets push her off the train" kinda trip for me?

Motherdom. Wonderful and draining all a the same time.

My week in a nutshell. I'm a bit tired.

6/7/08 32 hour labor.. Baby Girl born in the bathroom on my lovely amish wooden birth stool. Mama never pushed. She let her body to all the work. It was amazing. Baby was born to Gypsy music. She then crawled up to the breast and started nursing all on her own. 6 lbs. 4.5 oz.

6/8/08...

What's going on with the planets these days? It seems like everyone is juggling something! surreal
My appointment with the OB went well. He's nice, very laid back about vaginal breech birthing, and believes I can do it. biggrin JUST LIKE I DO! I must admit I was disappointed when I spoke to a midwife Tracy at Andaluz Water Birth Center and found out I could do HOME breech in OR. Yet I'd be mins from a hospital there, and I live 45 mins from everything here in VT. So I guess it makes sense. blush
Anyway, I'm feeling better about the process. I have my support system in place and I'm starting to visualize a butt first baby coming out my vagina. LOL
Thanks again for all your support, ideas, and contact people. kiss
Have fun with your children!

I'm so glad that they finally felt comfortable enough with you to be honest and that they felt like you were trustworthy. It's a testament to your kind and caring nature.

Those of you that know what I do, know what I do. In the last 3 days I have had so many appointments. I have talked to people with odd labs, people working through sex abuse, people in labor, people with interesting sexual history, control issues, regret, pure bliss, I have shared tears for those whom have lost and those that are scared to lose....

Hello Buttercup. Sounds like life is really keeping you on your toes lately! In a wonderful way, of course!

So my friend had her beautiful son yesterday afternoon. I have already held him twice. Today he even stayed awake for me! So precious. New life is just breathtaking.

So... a week or so ago we went to the Egyptian Museum in San Jose and I had hubby take these pics for you. It was hard to capture, but they are pics of a replica of an ancient Egyptian birthing room. I thought of you when I saw it!



Lots of lovelovelove to you!!! love love love love love kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss

Sounds emotionally draining!

Hope you're doing ok, Lady!
