There from where? | getting there from here, one word at a time...

https://knownomama.wordpress.com/about

Getting there from here, one word at a time…. Being my own scribe. Once upon a time, a colleague asked me to tell her about my long term plan. I replied that I’d like to return to school. She looked me up and down and chuckled, “so what you’re saying is, you have no idea what you want to do with your life.”. At the time, I was pretty annoyed by both the colleague’s question and by her response. But reflection can do wonders for one’s sense of humor. One response to “ There from where? Deadlines, extensio...

Getting there from here, one word at a time…. Being my own scribe. Spot of time →. March 14, 2008. I paid money to have needles put into my body while I listened to new age music. And I’m hooked. I have an old friend (out of touch for about 15 years) whose mother is an acupuncturist. I had heard wonderful things about her practice. Looked at my tongue and put a few pins into my body: my foot, my calf, my hand, wrist, forehead and ear. I’ve got to come up with a way to do this regularly. You are commentin...

renewing Club Parent membership | getting there from here, one word at a time...

https://knownomama.wordpress.com/2008/04/28/renewing-club-parent-membership

Getting there from here, one word at a time…. Being my own scribe. I’ve got a family. Now what? Renewing Club Parent membership. April 28, 2008. I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been busy getting huge. Most people assume that I’m due any day now. The others assume I’m having twins. I’m trying not to say too much in hopes that it might conserve some energy for more essential actions like breathing. Part of becoming huge is coming to terms with the fact that pregnancy is progressive. I will have a baby.

Getting there from here, one word at a time…. Being my own scribe. March 18, 2008. I responded to an ad on craigslist. A mama is seeing her teenage boy off to college this Fall and has decided that part of the process should be purging his old toys from the garage. While corresponding with her about the process, I find my thoughts returning to my final experiences with my parents before college. We got to NY but my father got lost along the way to the school. He decided to rely on a subway map from s...

Getting there from here, one word at a time…. Being my own scribe. Renewing Club Parent membership →. March 24, 2008. Yesterday was Easter Sunday. What is it with kids and spinning? After a really good nap (for both of us), my aunt came to visit. We sat in the back yard and drank cool drinks and sang songs and danced and chatted. And then we went to dinner (sans daughter! And a tribute to Malvina Reynolds. Who had made a documentary. About Malvina Reynolds. Her latest work had to do with VBACs and wa...

deadlines, extensions, and goals | getting there from here, one word at a time...

https://knownomama.wordpress.com/2009/04/14/deadlines-extensions-and-goals

Getting there from here, one word at a time…. Being my own scribe. No news and yet, so much is new! Deadlines, extensions, and goals. April 14, 2009. April How did I make it here? In the midst of our passover celebration, I turned to each guest at the table and asked every member of the group to share a sign of growth or source of pride from the last year. And I realized that I’ve learned a lot about reasoning. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. No news and yet, so much is new!

Getting there from here, one word at a time…. Being my own scribe. Renewing Club Parent membership. All it’s cracked up to be →. I’ve got a family. Now what? May 16, 2008. I wanted a family but wasn’t ready to admit it to the world. And now I have one–an expanding one. There are roughly 14 hours every day for connecting with a person who is less than 3 years old–less if they’re under a year. That is 70 hours a week. A return to the workforce is committing to spending 40 hours (plus co...You are commentin...

witnessing birth | getting there from here, one word at a time...

https://knownomama.wordpress.com/2008/03/11/witnessing-birth

Getting there from here, one word at a time…. Being my own scribe. Silent annoyance is for the birds. Pins and needles →. March 11, 2008. Last night my daughter asked to see her birth video. She is not yet three years old. The three of us sat down together, looked through the pictures of the night and then watched our video taped 10 minute version of the birth together. 1 She gets it: pushing out a baby is like pushing out a poop. Only everyone tells you the baby is beautiful when it is over. Renewing Cl...
