- I almost didn't do a random Friday today. I feel like I'm repeating myself a lot here. Kids not sleeping? Check. Job hunt? Check. Snow? Check. (Actually the weather has been ok this week.)
- Did you guys all see the completely condescending judgemental "Dear mom on an iPhone" post going around this week? It made me a little bit furious. Doubly so when it's a man who wrote it and men who keep reposting it, and it's about a mom. I read two beautiful responses to it, this one at Fried Okra is lovely and made me cry, and this one at Rated PeeGee is quite a lot like my life. I get the point, that childhood goes so fast, but there are a million ways to make that point without being an jerk about it.
- The Bug keeps coming up with crazy conversations. "Mommy, is bacon protein? My FAVORITE FOOD IS PROTEIN????" (This was a good thing.) "Mommy, am I making a tetragon (with his hands)?" He is also a complete ninja rockstar at Minecraft crafting. Mike and the boys play together, but it's the four year old who knows how to make things without looking them up.
- This month's post for the Little House on the Prairie Read-a-long went up on Monday. I'm ready for some discussion on that one! So much more political than Big Woods.
- We went to the park by our new house yesterday, since it was fairly warm out (50!) The river is still frozen.
What I Read This Week:
Gone Girl: A Novel
On the Banks of Plum Creek (Little House, Book 4)
Let's Pretend This Never Happened
Naked Statistics: Stripping the Dread from the Data
Wow, I can't imagine how could it would have to be to make the river freeze.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen that Mom on the iPhone thing, thanks for that. And for the links. Most men have no idea hw many things a mom juggles, even if both parents work full time. And I hate hate hate judgement of that kind.
ReplyDeleteBoth Gone Girl and Plum Creek are on their way to me now, can't wait!
