May 4, 2008I picked up Benjamin Friday night.
He saw the car pull up my Mom’s driveway and stood there in disbelief. Could it be, could it be Mommy’s car? When he spotted me behind the wheel, his little mouth dropped open and just stayed open … hanging there as he ran to me in a stoic force of energy that only a two-year-old can harness.
“Mama!!! Maaaammmmmaa!!”
Big, deep hugs and lots of laughing and kisses ever since. It’s been a phenomenol weekend. And he hasn’t thrown a tantrum once. Not once. Oh, and that talking thing – you know when they say the babbles suddenly turn into sentences? It’s happening. Awesome by the way – when your little human starts spouting thoughts. Can’t wait to find out what’s in his little head …
And I’m thinking visits to Grandma’s more often might not be such a bad idea.
May 4, 2008Mankind’s media landscape has been controlled by men since the first printing press spit out a bible. Oh, and if you haven’t heard – you’re a rib.
Now it’s our turn
We are lifting the black curtains, inviting other families into our lives and are finding, above all, that we’re not alone. Stereotypes, perhaps you had one about single moms when you found my website, are vanishing, walls are coming down and we’re finally speaking to each other about our fears, our joys, our loses and our victories – or about what our kid wiped on the wall last night. Mom blogs are strong voice for women every where.
