mother-scratcher: October 2005
http://mother-scratcher.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 31, 2005. There goes the neighborhood. Well, it just never stops around here. I just had the pleasure of seeing three lovely and dramatic mushroom clouds rise outside the kitchen window. Turns out a nearby car rental office with a bunch of propane tanks out back exploded, six times. Nearby means a block and a half away. Worse, the Hertz rental is directly across from a gas station that's a mere 3/4 block away. Posted by Llama school @ 3:48 PM. Sunday, October 30, 2005. List that is encryp...

mother-scratcher: November 2005
http://mother-scratcher.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2005. Going through the itty bitty baby pictures. Check out Cedra at four weeks. The chicken legs! The uncoordinated little hands! Who knew that a mere 17 months later she'd be using them to tear live pigeons apart:. Naughtie Wattie. Give me a twenty, I'll rock your party. Posted by Llama school @ 11:57 AM. Monday, November 28, 2005. Mama's baby, Daddy's maybe. My dear spouse managed to duck out of most of the day's social interaction by having picked up a copy of Freakonomics.

mother-scratcher: July 2005
http://mother-scratcher.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 31, 2005. My husband has many nicknames for Cedra, not among my favorites is "the home-wrecker." She earned this one after several of our couplefriends experienced relationship-shaking fights in the wake of a visit from us. The source of the battles was babylust. Michael likes to think it's because Cedra is just so cute. Until you've read all the classics and visited Bali? Until you've forgiven your own parents? Whatever, just "ready.". Pregnancy, just how drunk on champagne you're allowed t...

mother-scratcher: September 2005
http://mother-scratcher.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 21, 2005. Back in town, back into my post-partum elastic-waist skirts. We're back, and jet-lagged. As suspected, internet access was scarce. The one bar in Axat that offered internet service still had pinball machines, and French fifteen year olds were still using them. Very sweet. The France retrospective posts will appear off and on for awhile, I'll try not to throw out too many of them at once. I'm not sure there's that much worth telling anyway. It kind of went like this:.

mother-scratcher: June 2005
http://mother-scratcher.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 28, 2005. By way of local blogger ChildbearingHipster. For turning me on to this:. Create your own personalized map of the USA. And here are the very Eurocentric countries:. Create your own visited country map. Ain't much, am I? Got to start working on that life-list. On the other hand, I'm quite proud of this one:. You Are 32% American. America: You don't love it or want to leave it. But you wouldn't mind giving it an extreme make over. On the 4th of July, you'll fly a freak flag instead.

mother-scratcher: Soliloquy: For Guh
http://mother-scratcher.blogspot.com/2005/07/soliloquy-for-guh.html
Friday, July 08, 2005. I think the first word out of Sabra merits a few words from me:. I worried that little Gus wouldn't get enough lovin' after the new baby came. It's true that he did get much less attention after Sabra moved in, and I'm sure he was relieved. But that only lasted until Sabra was old enough to take notice of him. Now, "Guh! A stuffed one) "Da! Never the oft-coached Dada) "ClapClap! Posted by Llama school @ 1:04 PM. We needed something to play with and love.we're still working on g...

mother-scratcher: Knitting progress.
http://mother-scratcher.blogspot.com/2006/01/knitting-progress.html
Tuesday, January 24, 2006. Well, I knitted up the Juniper bonnet this weekend. It was too small for Cedra's big ol' nog. I'd gone up a needle size and added a few stitches to each end of the border in anticipation of this probability, but no luck. I have to re-juggle the fanning pattern to bring it up a size. I'm determined to succeed. Posted by Llama school @ 5:39 PM. Oh god, have a GREAT time. Holy crap sabra's cute. I hear myself saying that every time you post a picture, and every time I do it I ...

mother-scratcher: Nachas simchas
http://mother-scratcher.blogspot.com/2006/01/nachas-simchas.html
Tuesday, January 17, 2006. You know when your baby-crazy self is cooing over the newborns on Only Simchas. For the second consecutive hour and you start getting this Proustian synesthetic flashback to the sweet smell of that white-wine-dijon new baby poop and. What, you don't. Hang out on Only Simchas? Well, then you're just missing out. I also like to check out the upsherin. Posted by Llama school @ 2:42 PM. I, personally, *LOVE* long locks on little boys. Love them! My brother likes to joke that it's a...

mother-scratcher: Resuscitation
http://mother-scratcher.blogspot.com/2011/01/resuscitation.html
Saturday, January 15, 2011. As I've pulled this blog up occasionally over the last five years, I've realized that it's the only baby book my daughter is going to have. I fear google will remove it if I don't post something, so here's an update:. Easy E, three years old, has joined the famous Sabra. Two kids, check. I now have three days a week to myself which, after some emotional adjustment, has been a personal revolution. I'm now a Montessori teacher, yo! I'm starting a Masters in Education this summer.

mother-scratcher: March 2005
http://mother-scratcher.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 16, 2005. You know you live in the city when. All of your dryer lint is black. My mother-in-law, having bought me $200 in scrapbooking supplies for "Solstice," (worthy of another blog altogether; and no, I don't scrapbook) signed the two of us up for a paper-making class. Yes, the woman has actually met me. There's no explanation. Unless all your dryer lint is black. Posted by Llama school @ 11:35 AM. Tuesday, March 15, 2005. And fellow Tulsanne Sarah Brown of Que Sera Sera.
