Hi — I’m Not Dead Yet
Posted by Liza under Personal
Being a non-posting blogger is one of those problems that gets worse and worse, almost like a snowball. The more you don’t write, the more you think you need to write something really big and great and the less you possibly can.
Mostly, I haven’t been writing because I’ve been swamped at work, Noah has been on and off sick and teething, and we are just tired here at Casa Booski.
I have been thinking about a lot of things, though.
- I love my new cloth diapers, FuzziBunz. I have this thing where I liked to be different, and so it took me forever to try them because they’re incredibly popular.
But they’re incredibly popular because they ARE better than the others I’ve tried. They’re softer on the inside than any of the other ones I’ve tried. That made me wonder if it might be true also of Happy Heiny diapers, which are even cuter, so I also ordered two of them.
By the way, tons and tons of online cloth diaper shops are offering discounts during May — the list of who is offering what is here.
- Worrying about my sister, whose blood pressure is high late in her pregnancy. We are still, today, planning a baby shower in NYC this weekend.
- Worrying about Noah’s transition to the new day care, which starts the Tuesday after Memorial Day.
- Worrying about trying to have another baby ourselves. Doctor’s appointment is on Wednesday, where we learn more about the thyroid stuff and the rest of the test results.
- Thinking about how incredibly much time and energy being a mom takes and wondering if either of us will ever feel like we have mental energy to spend towards developing and/or fulfilling on other goals, like professional or career development. My lovely wife is surfing classes again, and I wonder what might be the next step on my erratic career path, and how I eventually will get there.
Time to go to bed. That’s one thing I’m certain about.

Sending hugs–lots on your plate right now. Bah! Hang in there.

Lizzy — I think that this weekend will be a whirlwind just-family trip, or I would have emailed you. But I’ll be back again the weekend of 6/10 for that op-ed class. Can we get together for drinks or lunch or coffee or what have you then?

sheesh - We HAVE GOT to get Malka and Noah together - BIG time!

Pouting in flyover country here…
Damn, you stay busy, girl. Hope all goes well at the doctor’s tomorrow.

Ok, playdate planning for Saturday 6/9? (Except that I don’t think Noah is coming to that NYC trip either.) But at least I could meet all you wonderful New Yorkers.

Saturday 6/9…beers for Mommys?
Dude! WOOT!
Enjoy the shower and I hope your sister’s BP regulates. STAT!
