What we need

We need fewer talks about how motherhood is a high and noble calling and more about how motherhood sometimes means that your hands smell like poop and your shirt has avocado spit up on it.

But...without the knowledge that it is a high and noble calling, could you stand the many years of avocado spit up and poop-smelling hands? It never hurts to be reminded that the poop smell is not going to last forever.

Foxy, I think the lack of poop and barf talks is why we all have blogs.

The next time I'm asked to give a talk, I'm going to talk only about the blood and gore parts of labor. Yeah? Wonder what the bishop would have to get up and say after that?

I would like to hear you give a General Conference talk on motherhood. (No, seriously.)

The Truth Comes Out

I have a problem when it comes to buying shoes. Well, it's actually a problem with buying clothing in general. I'm cheap. Very cheap. I tend to have arbitrary price limits in my head and refuse to buy anything that costs more than that.

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'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".
