Today is NikkiZ’s last day of daycare. I’ve written numerous entries about the guilt I’ve felt having her in daycare while I worked. Things that happened that made me feel bad that she wasn’t at home with me. Things they couldn’t give her that I would if I could have been there. If you search my archives you’ll find entry upon entry about me feeling guilty I couldn’t be at home with her. But today? I feel guilty we’re taking her away. First of all: I will NEVER EVER say that the stay at home/

My first published article will appear in the Heart of the Matter today. It feels weird to write for someone else other than myself… but then, I felt like my article was written for me this time regardless of the deadline.

Today, I’m home with a sick child. Dawson caught another cold. He has one so often, I’m beginning to forget when one ends and another begins. He was very cranky this morning, and had a slight fever and was coughing and sniffling so much, I decided to keep him home. I was starting to feel the symp

On January 6th of last year my dear friend Sarah gave birth to twin boys, Zachary and Ethan. They were born at 28 weeks gestation (normal is 40 weeks) due to the fact that the bag of waters around Ethan had been leaking for 10 weeks. Sarah endured a lot in those 10 weeks including bed rest and a 4 week hospitalization. Both boys were very small when they were born and rushed to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the hospital where they were attended to by their mom and dad as well as some of th

if you’re thinking it’s blogging, she doesn’t have time for blogging. you’re right - but that’s not what i’m talking about. what i’m talking about when i say i don’t have time for this is found in the following tale. we have nothing in the house for the kids to take for lunch - at least nothing proper. we could send pudding, lots of pudding, and a frozen pork loin, but as other moms know, sometimes it’s all about appearances. so, i have to go to the grocery store. now, i’ll admit, i’m a bit o

Recent reports have noted a booming business in India for women who are paid to act as gestational surrogates, who receive compensation many times a normal salary in the region to carry out a pregnancy for women in other countries (including the United States). In the U.S., we have an uneasy relationship with anything that smacks of paying people for their bodies - prostitution is generally illegal, payment of egg donors has inspired much ethical debate (including suggestions that payment is o

I discovered this book challenge on Cafemom.com. The challenge is to read a book that begins with the letter of each alphabet. This is a new and exciting challenge for me. I love reading but I often find that I don’t have the time to sit down and complete a book before something else comes along to snatch my attention away. Now that I’m part of a public challenge, I’m hoping that I may actually be able to follow through. I will post my results in this blog. A B C D E F - First to Die by James
