letters from the outposts of lesbian parenting
- No excuses. Just writing. Writing it down.
- Somehow last week I twisted my ankle but forgot that I'd done it. Instead I kept thinking that my shoes hurt my feet. I kept thinking, I'm going to have to get rid of these shoes that don't fit me. Then another pair. Then another. Then Marcia said, "Aren't those bruises on your ankle?"
- Hmmmm. I thought about it. The next day I finally remembered what I had done. Tripped on a curb while walking back to me office after an interview with a reporter. A heating pad and alleve (twice daily) are helping the situation. I guess I can move those shoes back into the closet.
- We saw two good movies on NetFlix, WordPlay and Little Miss Sunshine.
- Carrie loves her lovies, a blue blanket and a teddy bear. Pearl has never had one or wanted one, but she understands that they are important to Carrie. When Carrie cries, she provides one of these comforting "friends" to her sister. I wonder why some kids have this need and others don't. Or maybe they (we?) all have this need but find a variety of ways to satisfy it?
- I cooked for the week ahead. All simple foods--yams, lentil soup, brown rice.
- Katie has finally posted photos of the little cricket. Welcome to the world, little guy.
- I'm learning the words to some of the Land Before Time songs, including "Friends for Dinner."
- Things I'm looking forward to: Marcia's birthday and a trip to the beach.
You cook for the week ahead? I'd like to hear more about that. I usually have no idea what we're eating on a given night until I look in the fridge.
