Headless Chicken, that's me

At work today I took a wee break to read I Obsess (the current Mother Of The Week over at Crazy Hip Blog Mamas) and noticed she had a perfect post. So I jumped over to Petroville to see who else I should check out this month. Um, apparently ME. The thoughtful and ceaselessly positive Mother-Woman nominated my post about my concerns that my human fountain status will scar my child. My heart skipped a beat. Thank you, Mo-Wo. From you that means a lot.

After a moment of shock, I turned into the proverbial headless chicken, clicking insanely as I thought: "I've got to email Mo-Wo to say thank you" "wait, I'll post something on my blog" "no, email, no..."

Deep breath. "Go back to work" was my eventual decision. But now at home I can smile and say: Thanks! It is nice to be thought well of. And check out this month's Perfect Post awards - I'm in amazing company.

  2. hey! congratulations! that was a great post. beautifully honestly written. and deserving. cry on sistah!

    btw, my supersecret blogger codeword was "qwyazz" which, in street language, could easily read as a translation for "cryers," no? or, i guess, "choirs." but still.

  7. I'm a big fan of that post. It's impossible to disguise our true natures with our children, and anyway, why would we? I think that flying your flag of fountainocity is refreshingly human. A quality I'm sure your daughter will aspire to. After all, you're setting an excellent example.
