Post of the week...
If you don't know her already, let me introduce to you a fabulous blogger, mental tesserae, via one of my favorite posts ever, lather and rinse. It is a rare gift indeed when someone can sum up almost two decades of one of your most deeply personal internal confllicts and its ongoing resolution in a single post.

That really makes you stop and think, doesn't it? Always in hurry, never stopping to enjoy the 'small' joys we get from our children!
Thanks for sharing that. I liked it.
I linked to that in my last post as well, and it gave me a smile that you had done the same.
I think the blogging community should get together and invent an award for her.
Very nice.
(If only there were a beautiful painting of a woman trying to read a blog, being attacked by a three year old, and the loving mother is caught in the very moment of rejecting her internet world, and loving the baby with zero wistfulness/ambivalence.)
Thanks for the link CW. I loved it.
elizabeth w--your comment choked me with laughter. I NEED someone to paint that so I can hang it above my computer!
Thanks, c-dub.
I don't know how I'm ever going to keep up with all the amazing people (mostly women) I am being introduced to as a reader, but I must keep trying! The ripple effect here in Bloggywood is overwhelming, but very satisfying.
Amazing, this cyber thing. How else would I have ever found you, fer instance?
Thanks for the compliment.
Truthfully, I hate myself for feeling at all resentful of my (wonderful!) children so I hesitated to publish that post. It seems to have struck a chord so I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who feels that way sometimes. Just writing about it tweaked my own perspective a bit. I haven't written much on my blog in the past few days because I'm spending more time just BEING with my kids.
Ditto. Ditto. Ditto.
I am less crazy because of blogging--I know now I'm not the only one. And, as I believe our relationships with others--family and friends--are something we take with us into the next life, I am grateful for the friends I've made who share my burdens and my joys.
I think perhaps two of the biggest challenges modern women have are being conflicted between many gooc choices and finding balance.
The third challenge would be typos.
Of course I meant good choices!
I went. I saw. I commented. I have thusly fulfilled my blogger duties!
I really LOVE that poor kitty!
