MereMortal: October 2005
http://leighsteele.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Ramblings of a Mere Mortal Mama. Thursday, October 20, 2005. How could I have ever predicted that I would fall head over heels in love with my daughter? People warned me, but I had my own ideas of what it would feel like. Pre-baby, I guess I imagined that Motherhood would exibit itself in different ways. such as thinking Kaia was adorable and irresistable and that I needed to feel responsible for her in terms of protecting her and raising her well. Would I be able to react soon enough? I cannot wait to c...

MereMortal: Ten Moons for Kaia
http://leighsteele.blogspot.com/2006/05/ten-moons-for-kaia.html
Ramblings of a Mere Mortal Mama. Saturday, May 06, 2006. Ten Moons for Kaia. My Dear Kaia,. Your tiny back arches, your head flings back, and your eyes clamp shut while you wail. And sometimes, dare I say it; you start to hold your breath. You may not know, dear child, that I expressed my childhood dismay by holding my breath until I passed out cold on the floor. Guess what? There is one thing that is guaranteed to make you stop crying. It's when Mama sings you the lyrics of the "Jazz Fly" book. It doesn...

Ramblings of a Mere Mortal Mama. Friday, February 24, 2006. How to Destroy a Living Room in 1 Day. So let me paint of picture of my living room floor area for you. I'll spare you the gory details of the current state of the kitchen. One highchair, covered with spilled and hardening goo from bowl of rice cereal mixed with peas that my dog managed to overturn after I'd left it unattended. One bowl flung onto carpet, spoon 5 feet away, once filled with rice cereal mixed with peas. Three dirty, crusty bibs, ...

Ramblings of a Mere Mortal Mama. Tuesday, September 27, 2005. Pneumonia is Pneu Fun! The photo shows me on the first day I felt really sick. Awful! I have a sneaking suspicion that this blog will consist of more than one entry.okay, wait, it's not even really "sneaking". This suspicion is all out in the open, announcing it's presence like a college roomate walking into your shared dorm room at 3 am after a night of partying. Know what I mean? Terrible. Barely possible. After the Amoxicillin, I still didn...

MereMortal: March 2006
http://leighsteele.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Ramblings of a Mere Mortal Mama. Friday, March 31, 2006. So, I'm stealing this list idea from MaryBeth. I just got such a kick out of her list that I felt compelled to try one of my own. As I closed my eyes and brainstormed those things I have come to love, I suddenly became embarrassed. They pale in comparison to MB's earthy, environmentally friendly, organic, easy-going list. I mean, dang, her list makes you really feel like she has her priorities straight. She's "centered"! I go through them like crazy.

Ramblings of a Mere Mortal Mama. Saturday, November 26, 2005. Sit,Stay, Roll Over. December 3, 2005. I put her to sleep on her belly! We looked at each other, then looked at our wriggling, wimpering daughter and laughed. She sure did! As we stood over her crib, like Mary and Joseph gazing upon a baby in a manger, we were awestruck at this milestone. Yes.we had witnessed a miracle! Milestones such as these serve as a bittersweet reminder of how quickly little ones grow up. Many times, I intentionally ...

I guess I’m behind the 8-ball. Maybe it’s because I don’t watch the news, or read the newspaper, or even enjoy television much. Naked On all fours. Vaginally. Naturally. As if it’s being naked whi...
