So many questions

What is it that compels me to call my child things like "Mr. Man" or "Hungry Bug"? And why do we have to say these things in such a cutsie little voice?

Also, why has my baby been possessed by demons sometime during the last 48 hours and will not stop screaming?

When I was around my nieces and nephews recently I took to calling the babies "bubba". I don't know what it is...

And sorry about the screaming child.

We call Ethan 'baby boy' and Savannah 'baby girl'. SO original, I know.

I hope the screaming stops soon. I always think my kids are screaming just to irritate me and then it turns out they have ear infections or are starving to death or something horrible, and then I feel really bad.

I'm not even going to point out that demon-possessed babies are kind of like vampire-babies.

I call my baby Peanut so often that sometimes I wonder if people overhearing me in public think that's his real name.

As to the screaming baby, I really can't offer advice, but I do feel for you. I hope he starts feeling better soon so you can maintain your sanity.

Happy, Happy Blog-day Foxy Dear

Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of my blog. I had no idea where my life would go when I started this blog, and it's fun for me to read back through the archives and remember feelings and events that I have already forgotten. I think the most surprising thing about blogging that I have discovered is the sense of community. I have about fifty blogs that I follow somewhat regularly; many of them are people I haven't ever met in person. I still consider them to be my friends. I've been very grateful for all the virtual support I've received from so many people who don't really even "know" me. Miss Nemesis recently celebrated her blog's special day by asking lurkers to come out of the woodwork and reveal who they were and how they found her blog. She got 52 comments. If you want to make my day, see if you can top her numbers. Maybe then I can change my blognym to "Queen of the Universe".

Coming Out in Public

A little over 6 years ago I was on my mission in Madrid. I was transferred to new area at the same time as another elder. I remember asking him if was really from Hawaii, since he was so tall and blonde. We ended up serving together in the same district for nearly seven and a half months and had a lot of good times together. He was actually nice to the sisters and a hard worker, without being too zealous and overbearing. I knew he was going home just a month before me and planning on being an English major when he got back to BYU. When I was transferred out of that area, we exchanged emails and addresses and promised to get back in touch some day, like I did with a lot of other missionaries. I got home in January and started trying to contact some of the people I'd been friends with back in the mission. I emailed this particular elder and found out that he had gone to the computer lab that very day in order to email me. We started emailing each other and talked on the phone a few t...
