Secret Life of Gayle: 5/10/09 - 5/17/09

Secret Life of Gayle. Learning to live and love my secrets. Thursday, May 14, 2009. The worst thing about cleaning. The worst thing about cleaning is noticing the other stuff to be cleaned. Seriously. It's not like the other stuff to be cleaned wasn't there before. It just hadn't been noticed yet and I kind of prefer it that way. Today I cleaned the shutters and the stairs. Now I've noticed how dirty the railing is. I think I'll let that loom for a week or so. Wednesday, May 13, 2009. I was amazed at how...

Secret Life of Gayle. Learning to live and love my secrets. Sunday, January 4, 2009. I mentioned last time that I was reading Birthing from Within. One of the exercises it suggests to practise pain-coping techniques is holding an ice cube in your hand (or putting it on your wrist) for 60 seconds while trying out the various techniques. In our prenatal classes we took while pregnant with Tommy, we also had this exercise and I hated it. I am not. So, baby, we're getting ready for you! My Life with Gabriel.

Secret Life of Gayle: Defining yourself by the best

http://secretlifeofgayle.blogspot.com/2009/05/defining-yourself-by-best.html

Secret Life of Gayle. Learning to live and love my secrets. Tuesday, May 26, 2009. Defining yourself by the best. What is it inside of us that causes this? I don't believe that it's simply a case of "being human" and therefore being judgemental. Rather, I think that there is some vulnerable spot inside that pushes out these definitions.and using the old adage that "the best defense is a good offense" thinks that by slapping a label on someone else we'll somehow buy us some protection. As for me, I am als...

Secret Life of Gayle: A bit of history

http://secretlifeofgayle.blogspot.com/2009/05/bit-of-history.html

Secret Life of Gayle. Learning to live and love my secrets. Thursday, May 28, 2009. A bit of history. I realized last night that I hadn't documented my efforts to breastfeed Lex or Tommy here. I feel it's important to do this so that I'll have it to look back on. And since birth can play a role in feeding, I'll start there. Day 4 check-in with publich health nurse. Discuss possibly giving formula b/c of urate crystals and low wet diapers, as well as no poop. Nurse disagrees and says to continue b...Day 5...

Secret Life of Gayle: May I have your attention, please?

http://secretlifeofgayle.blogspot.com/2009/05/distraction-vs-attention.html

Secret Life of Gayle. Learning to live and love my secrets. Sunday, May 31, 2009. May I have your attention, please? According to this article. A request that's harder to grant than one might think. For some people, that isn't too much of a battle. They know what they like and that's what they'll look at. But for others with a huge amount of natural curiosity (e.g. me! It's not as easy as it sounds. Do I look at environmental issues, technological issues, parenting issues, political issues, historica...

Secret Life of Gayle. Learning to live and love my secrets. Saturday, May 9, 2009. Everybody else has lots of milk. Must be fate that this happened to me today, so soon after posting about breastfeeding. (Warning, this is another breastfeeding post and there may be others to follow. They will probably appear long and self-pitying, but I will try to keep them slightly positive and humourous, too.). Then Jean and Maritza go on joyfully about how full they used to get and would soak the beds at night; how e...

Secret Life of Gayle. Learning to live and love my secrets. Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Malawi has lately been in the news quite a bit for a tiny country. It is one of the least developed and most densely populated countries in the world. Like many African countries, it suffers from a high prevalence of AIDS/HIV as well as poverty and famine. In September 2009, the Canadian embassy will close and support will be withdrawn. The reason for closure? The Globe and Mail. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Secret Life of Gayle. Learning to live and love my secrets. Friday, June 26, 2009. My blog is moving and I'm kind of excited about it. The Blogger software has been bugging me for a while now, but my main complaint has been the need to log my husband out of his e-mail and log myself in, just to post to my blog. So I'm packing things up and moving to WordPress software. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My Life with Gabriel.

Secret Life of Gayle. Learning to live and love my secrets. Friday, September 12, 2008. Thump, thump. Who's there? Squirt is now giving me some regular taps to say hello. It is nice to have this bit of reassurance. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My Life with Gabriel. Thump, thump. Whos there?
