Dear Mother Nature,
After the baby, I know there are parts that will never be the same, but…Sure, we all can’t have a body like Kim Kardashian, but are you mocking me? I have a caboose the size of the state I live in – Look, Thomas is the ONLY one in awe! I know I’m easily fascinated by those sponges that expand when you add water to them but when did my butt become a specimen? Did Mickey D’s call in a favor? Mother N, I’m also wondering about my symmetry. Am I forever destined to wear a loose-fitting poncho only to be befriended by Betty Suarez”? It’s summer you know, and Betty’s flight was canceled back in March.

There are things you should know when you have a baby, and then there are things you learn; sometimes those lines are blurred. Like way back when, when Madison was about 3 months. She cried every time I put her down and her nights and days were definitely confused. This went on for two more months. I was confused and utterly exhausted. I met an older gentleman who told me I should turn the baby upside down to reset its clock. I was skeptical but he assured me his Mother knew what she was talking about.

Sometimes, though, the things our children say give us pause; a moment to wonder “How does she know THAT?” or think “Guess I’d better improve my teaching”. And then there are the moments that leave you speechless.

You probably have one of those fancy schmancy McDonald’s in your town. The kind that tries to pretend it doesn’t serve cheeseburgers and fries but offers yogurt parfait and salads displayed in a glass case; the ones that have a “Cafe” for latte, an internet station and free WiFi. For the kiddos, it offers the play space on steroids: the three story indoor climbing structure and wall sized TV tuned into the Disney Channel…..all blessedly at the BACK of the “restaurant” behind 2 or 3 glass partitions so the grown folk without kids aren’t forced to listen to the screams and squeals.
