Sarah's home

I have no details, but she was home last night. Thanks again for all the good thoughts and prayers.

You all are the best.

Hope

There's been an update from my friend. Her daughter left a message saying she wants to come home. She's about thirty miles from home, and the police there have been notified.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts.

Lost

It's hard to explain what becoming a mother does to a person; the way it expands and connects one to other mothers, other children. There're certain signs of motherhood women recognize in each other. The moms sway in grocery store lines long after their children are no longer babies in their arms. All the moms in a public place will turn to the source of a child's cry. Other mothers will offer their seats to pregnant women, their place in the dreaded public bathroom line.

And sometimes all we can do for each other and each other's children is send love and hope and faith.

Sarah, the thirteen-year-old daughter of a mom I know on-line, has been missing since Friday.

Please keep her in your thoughts.

Home

So, we signed the sale agreement for our house yesterday.

I have such mixed emotions about this. I like our little house. We brought our babies home to this house. I love the view from the kitchen windows. It's a wonderful neighborhood. We're only moving because the house is too small, and it's impractical to try to put on an addition.

sigh...

I guess we should find a new place to live.

OMG!

"Pregnant swingin."

Pregnant swingin?

I am thisclose to getting rid of Sitemeter.

To Whom it May Concern

Howdy stranger.

Yes, I mean you, who found this blog by searching for "hot mumma."

Nothing to see here. If you want a hot mumma, head here.

It's a sucky day in the Neighborhood

Our phone has not been working. We can call out, but are having problems receiving calls. Which, given the numbers we've been getting from the re-elect Santorum committe, I'm not sure is such a bad thing.

However...

40 minutes on hold to talk to a person? With an intermittent "access your account online" message, when the bloody website won't let me create an account?

Only to have the first person put me on hold to transfer me to someone else, for another ten minutes?

Oy. Vey.
