...isn't that a techno song from the 90's?It IS 3 am, and I can't sleep. I woke up from an intense dream about Steve. The kind of dream I'm sure I had after I divorced AJ - where you sudden develop an overwhelming desire for a person mainly because they've decided they don't need you anymore. Obviously Steve hasn't done that in real life, but he did in the dream. It was disconcerting. Steve and I are celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary tomorrow evening, so I imagine my subconscious ...

...before Will goes to bed. We just got back from the church ice cream social. I'm so shy at events like that. The whole point is to meet people, and I just sit there with Will like a lump on a log. I need alcohol to make me gregarious. And a) I can't have any right now, and b) its not usually served at church socials. At least not at any churches I've been to. Courtney - do you lube people up for meet-n-greets at Geist? If so, can I join?Several weeks ago, I woke up in the middle of the n...
What a good weekend...

Not all weekends are this easy for our little family. Sometimes each of us gets very caught up in our hypersensetivity. Poor Will didn't stand a chance of having thick skin with Steve and I for parents. But this weekend was wonderful. Relaxed, slow, productive, but not frenetic.

The kitty named Fatty i...

...you lose your car in the parking lot for the first time in your life. Seriously. I've never understood how a person can forget where they parked. And there weren't THAT many rows to choose from so it wasn't as if I needed to remember "Aligator Section, Green Row, Spot 17." Good thing I'm not a rocket scientist or brain surgeon in real life.From now on, when I see a pregnant woman wandering the parking lot, I will know what her problem is.
So I don't forget: "fa-da&...
An angel...

My son is an angel. This weekend, anyway. We got up early and went to the Children's Museum in downtown St. Paul. He was self directed but receptive to my suggestions for activities, he walked from and to the car on his own, and was, in general, a joy to be with.I have been fascinated with his communication development since he was born, but especially so since he began to use signs and words. He is becoming very articulate and has what seems to me to be an advanced ability to put things i...
