Every mother, particularly new ones, discover a whole new realm of fear once they have given birth. I freaked out on the car ride home with my first born son. Every vehicle on the road was a speeding bullet headed toward my baby. I was a nervous wreck on the freeway. They don’t really warn you about that, even in “What to Expect” and they are great at giving expecting mothers things to worry about.

Call me crazy (most do I suspect) but I end up talking to the nicest people on the phone. Even when I was in college, I had a very long conversation with a woman trying to get me to switch phone companies. I was dodging an English assignment, and she was dodging cold calling more people. We ended up talking for nearly an hour about everything BUT the best long distance carrier.

There should be a support group for mothers of picky eaters. Heck, maybe there is. They probably meet at a fast food joint with a play area and bemoan how their child will eat that processed dreck and turn up their nose at food that actually contains something besides fat and sodium. I just avoid those play areas because it means my kids will ooze green mucus for six weeks straight.

Let me preface this with: I am in no way a professional barber. I am just cheap.
I cut my family’s hair. I even trim my own bangs, though I haven’t lately. The woman who cuts my hair (3-4 times a year, whether it needs it or not) gets a little frownie line between her eyes when she sees I have taken the scissors to my hair. I figure it is safe to say I am not exceptionally good at it.

Things were a little crazy (and a little lazy) the past week. My mom and sister came to visit from Texas! It’s fun to catch up, though in the electronic age there isn’t really much to catch up on I suppose. Thanks to Facebook and emails and unlimited long distance, it isn’t like we don’t get to share the important stuff. However, nothing beats actual live interaction, especially when kids are involved.
