Then find some one in your support circle who will help you do everything else when the time comes. Newborns sleep alot - so you'll have some time to do things. But do keep in mind not too push yourself too far after he's been born - you'll need alot of sleep too!

Tsk - I forgot to mention that you let Ben pick his nose. You are a horrible mother. (I couldn't even keep a straight face while I typed that) Seriously, those WOMEN can not possibly have children of their own. Monkey is 16 months old, and has never seen any one pick their nose, yet she does it. It's what kids do.

I think you may be confused.

As a "feminist" surely, she should know the difference? Either way, she was way off base. The things you are NOT are: weak, stupid, or a victim. I found your blog - though I can't quite remember how, and was inspired to start my own. Your blog is the first I check when I do my nightly "reading" - because I can always find something that is either entirely inspiring or amusing (sometimes both, all in the same post! double score!). So, Screw her.

I didn't comment on the WeTV piece, but I definitely think that if the cards were that accurate to begin with, then there's a possibility that they're right again.

It was just absolutely a GREAT post. It was a good cry though, so no worries!!

It was a good cry though. I read the other post and cried some more. At the risk of sounding incredibly repetitive - You are so awesome and creative!!!!

Amazing response to this post. I can't wait to hear more about Isabelle - I'd love to share some of my experience with her - I'm in sort of a similar situation with Monkey's donor. I knew who he was, but he had changed (obviously, not enough - seeing as how I'm in the situation I'm in now). Anyway - let me know if she'd like the advice/info/experience.

I live in one of those "wrong" areas of my city, but only because my finances force me to. Don't get me wrong, I do all I can to make sure that I can eventually get Monkey and I out of the situation. I just wish that more people had the sense that you do to realize that not every one was born into the same circumstances and occasionally one truly can not help their circumstances Thu, 26 Feb 2009 02:26:50 +0000 http://mssinglemama.com/2009/02/24/the-wrong-wal-mart/#IDComment15816544 http://mssinglemama.com/2009/02/15/pardon-the-blog-interruption/#IDComment15317813 I love the new look! And Ben really is a little stud muffin.... I just wanna squeeze him every time I see a picture!

He's pretty awesome. (I use that word a bit too much. Must find a new adjective...)

East coast play date sounds AWESOME to me! You're welcome for the reminder too! =) Sun, 15 Feb 2009 19:17:29 +0000 http://mssinglemama.com/2009/02/15/come-say-hi/#IDComment15271934 http://mssinglemama.com/2009/02/15/come-say-hi/#IDComment15268697 This is largely unfair! I want to meet Matt and Madeline! (I should probably de-lurk over there too) But I live in Florida and am COMPLETELY BROKE. OH- Alaina speaking of broke, did you ever find a camera for Ben??? I said fisher price on twitter and meant V-tech. I KNOW V-tech has one for toddlers.

As far as I'm concerned it's just a Hallmark Holiday. Monkey and I spent the afternoon at the mall, buying stuff.

I'm going to have to go de-lurk on her blog now and offer support.... By the way, did I mention that you're awesome?

I hope that she'll continue to write! Fri, 13 Feb 2009 08:49:54 +0000 http://mssinglemama.com/2009/02/12/mias-story-part-iii/#IDComment15115600
