50% of Sam's wardrobe and 50% of Diane's wardrobe are my dream style. The other 50% of each should be burned.

My baby smiled at me for the first time and I cried so hard, I left the planet. Reporting to you from the moon.

I look so forward to that dang box! And I'm so thrilled for you, and, selfishly, for myself, that you have another book coming out! You know I return to Snakeskin frequently!

OMGGGGGGGG!!! I have to get this for so many people!

YES!!! Love this piece, especially the part about falling asleep on the couch and sometimes moving but sometimes not. And, of course, any one-sentence piece about divorce is absolutely for me!

Of all the drugs in the world, there is simply no high like a stranger telling you that your baby is cute. Happened twice yesterday, including from the usually grumpy barista I've been trying to win over for a year.

Oh no, he just mentioned random blackouts, I was right

This realization has shaken me to my core

My baby's first two smiles were to a friend who identifies as "not a baby person." Said friend then held him for an hour and is besotted with him. No smiles for Mom and Dad, because he knows we don't need to be won over. Proud of his advanced manipulation tactics.

Solo parenting this week and cried because I thought the coffee maker broke. I'd just forgotten to put water in it.

I ran an errand without the baby, for about 45 minutes, and spent half the time looking at photos of him, and cried twice because I missed him.
