Not that I do that much. LL: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's coming, it's coming... MQ: Sorry — that’s what happens when you are multitasking and perusing blogs while at work. Not that I do that much.

I think maybe you misread what I wrote. Let the record state that I am definitely not expecting. I was recounting the story from the LAST time I had an ear infection. No pregnancy here. No sir! Not no way. Not no how! :) Love the poems, by the way! Saw your comment on my blog. I think maybe you misread what I wrote. Let the record state that I am definitely not expecting.

My craft could use some, uh, development, but considering it was on my lunch hour on the fly and trying to stay low profile in this here cube, not too shabby. The dating -- well that is another story. It's been underwhelming so far. Sophie/Writesome/All: Thank you for alleviating my guilt and sticking with me. I guess it wasn't that long of a pause between posts, but it seemed long. Probably the lack of sleep thing didn't help! We had a really bad drop off yesterday at daycare; I was almost in tears, too. It's one thing when your child is 3, when she's 8? Again, another story. We'll work it out... PS. You guys are awesome. Just had to say that.

I should get that book. I have one that wakes up and decides everything is wrong. I'm always so proud of myself when I can ignore or persuade him otherwise, but most times, like this morning, my inner-child fights back...and I always lose: My cool, my sanity, my voice. Great poems too. I was going to remove my online profile but then saw a couple new guys on there tonight, so I'll stick around. Maybe even post a pic for a day or two. What's the harm? Of course, I haven't ever contacted anyone. That's the next baby step. And, I agree with Sophie. Your not off the list for missing a day or two's posts. Actually, I just added you to my blogroll.

I'm in the weeds here at work because of an upcoming release. I'm making good on my promise to myself to get to bed on time (aaahhhh, I feel SO much better with a couple of weeks worth of good sleep under my belt). So where does that leave me? With little time for the old blog. Don't apologize for the lack of blogging activity. Do what you need to do to take care of yourself and your kids. We're still tuning in!

If we haven't been sleeping for whatever reason, I want to throw myself on the floor and kick and scream. Tantrums are awful and sometimes unavoidable, but they pass. I love the poetry! Very early - no coffee yet. Comments will be more insightful later. Ugh – everything is made worse when the sleep is not good!

You crack me up... but, of course, I really relate. This is my favorite: "but it turned out to be sedate...and now she’d rather be snoozin’." Oh, darling, I've been there!! Susan,
