Mountain Mama: January 2010
http://pcj.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 21, 2010. What has been easier than I expected:. Sibling adjustment issues, months 0-9. Really, during that time, there was exactly one epic tantrum that I could trace directly to Lea's totally animal-like jealousy of her sister. They had both fallen asleep in the car, and when we got home, it became clear that Susanna needed to nurse immediately. With me and watch the world go by, sometimes for 45 minutes or more, at a coffee shop or friend's house. How about that. Sibling adjustment i...

Mountain Mama: September 2009
http://pcj.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 29, 2009. I was talking to my friend Lindsay (mother of Rylan. Lea's best buddy, met at school), as I have many times before, about how much my mental health was suffering during the summer of 2007, when Lea was 7-9 months old and we knew NOBODY in town and a two-minute chat with a barista. Every now and then was all that was passing for my social life. I say that flippantly, but really: I was in some serious trouble that summer. Except, she's still only two. Two! But she gets right in...

Veins of Ink, Calves of Steel: January 2009

Veins of Ink, Calves of Steel. The fame was like a drug. But what was even more like a drug were the drugs. -Homer Simpson. Thursday, January 22, 2009. My second niece was born about 4:30 this morning. She weighs eight pounds, including her mullet, reports my relatively tired sister, who went into labor at 7:30 pm but still managed to watch all three hours of Lost! Jeez, I was exhausted just from THAT myself! Posted by E.S.C. Links to this post. Sunday, January 11, 2009. I can't get accustomed to the ide...

Veins of Ink, Calves of Steel: March 2008
http://veinsofink.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Veins of Ink, Calves of Steel. The fame was like a drug. But what was even more like a drug were the drugs. -Homer Simpson. Tuesday, March 11, 2008. Not my preferred terrain for a stroll. In non-metaphorical news, the A-10 hoops tourney is at Boardwalk Hall in AC this weekend, Holly's in town the next weekend, and my fantasy baseball draft is the weekend after that. And a lot of work in between. Posted by E.S.C. Links to this post. Tuesday, March 4, 2008. So I told him . Not effectively, no.).

Mountain Mama: April 2010
http://pcj.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 11, 2010. Even though Lea's speech has progressed to the point where almost anybody, I think, should be able to have a pretty normal conversation with her, there are still a few quirks that remind me what a fascinating process language development really is. She's also really actively working on her vocabulary. Just today she asked us what "politics" and "stability" mean, and at one point she gestured out her car window, gasping "I just saw a skyscraper! Is a frequent lamentation. She let m...

After a third of the season, the Phillies are 30-24, on pace for 90 wins, one more than they got last year when they won the division. However, they're 1.5 games behind Florida at the moment. Holly got that nonsense with Super 8 straightened out. Night clerk didn't know from whence she spoke, but day clerk did. Whew. Posted by E.S.C. Links to this post. Super ...

Mountain Mama: August 2009
http://pcj.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 5, 2009. Since this blog is serving as my only (lame) attempt at a babybook-type chronicle of the first years of my kids' lives, I know I'll really regret it if I look back in a few years and see it trail off to nothing, so I'm resolving to pick up the pace a little bit, even if it's just totally un-literary lists of what's going on. Stretches of sleep these days are about 2.5 hours. Just writing that makes me deliriously tired. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Dorks, not Nerds.

Mountain Mama: June 2009
http://pcj.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 12, 2009. I'll start by sharing something that's a bit difficult to admit, though I suspect I'm not at all alone in my feelings. Susanna's birth was emotionally very complicated for me, and very, very different from Lea's birth in terms of the psychological journey it took me on. Here's the most truthful truth I can muster: one of the first things that popped into my head when I saw her was "Who is this impostor? She was and how much I really did already love her.
