Me: Yes, I still breastfeed my baby. Her: Oh! Um. He’s like, walking. Me: Yep! Since 13 months. I’m so proud! (Knowing EXACTLY where she’s going). Her: And how old is he now? (Creepy face emerging) Me: Almost 16 months. He’s so precious! (Stomping her implications out.) Her: So, when are you going to stop? Don’t those teeth hurt? Me: Hmmm? [...] I almost didn’t post this because I look exactly how I feel. Jacked up. And I’m not talking Jack Daniels. I’m talking tired, sick, chap-lipped, and annoyed. Bad lighting, too. But, hey. This is what happens when I’m in the trenches of 2 weeks worth of illnesses. So, here it is. I read a post at one of my favorite Mom blogs the other day and it got my wheels turnin’ about how women see their bodies. How some of us hide behind silly euphemisms and then how that translates to the little girls we are raising. What are we teaching girls about their bodies by the examples [...] While it makes me sad to hear that a woman didn’t breastfeed her child, I don’t assume she was being selfish or lazy. Why a Mom doesn’t nurse her baby is private, and quite frankly, I think it’s pretty lame to label her so harshly. For goodness sake. If you have breastfed, you know it’s no [...] So, this is the deal. Why do some people get SO worked up over having a toddler tethered to me? Some call it a “leash”. So be it. Doesn’t it make sense that my 2 year-old wants to walk while we’re out? Does it not occur to you, oh, creepy stranger, that while she’s walking she’s [...] Ok, so you’ve heard the story before. There’s a couple, together a long, long time. Seemingly happy, in love. They get married and/or have a baby and suddenly – the relationship takes a very ugly nose dive into the depths of a dark, dank sewer. WTF!? I just learned about a story like this. After [...] I was totally one of those die hard Michael Jackson fans growing up. Songs from Off the Wall and Thriller are playing in the background of many of my childhood stories. Like the dance parties we used to have at my house with the 9 kids I grew up with. My Mom, lifting the delicate [...]
Ok. I was in NYC the day of 911. It is one of the saddest days of my life. This is before we had our children. And this is my 911 story. I’m knee-deep in the cranks with myself today. Not motivated to exercise. I just want to get back into making time for it. We got the Wii, and I love that thing, really, I do. The price tag on that sucker should be enough to get me goin‘, right? NOPE! My back hurts, sciatica’s got [...] Alright, I’m just warning you. Today’s a bit of a rant. Why? Cause I read an article that whistled my steam pipes but good. It’s titled, “The case against breastfeeding”. For curious minds, check it out: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200904/case-against-breastfeeding/2 Ok, so my knee-jerk reaction is this: Are you SEEErious?! Why build a case AGAINST breastfeeding, for ALL OF THE [...] |
