Is Amy or Connie around? What's a "Mia Maid"?
Mia Maids is a church program for girls who are saying, "But brother gets to go to Scouts!" No, they don't send the girls to Girl Scouts. They might learn self-sufficiency and a sense of their own potential and--sorry.
Anyway, in Mia Maids they learn to be reverent and about a woman's holy purpose in the world and that they shouldn't let boys do *that* until they're married because they'll be impure and tainted and no decent boy will want them.
Oh, and home making and crafts and stuff like that.

Sorry about the crap day, Gud. I hope things get better for you.

Lots of ~ma to sj's nephew.
Just in the past two days Annabel has turned cranky and needy like she literally hasn't been since she was a newborn. I hope it's just lingering effects of her cold and not a personality shift, because this is driving me crazy, and if it keeps up I don't know what I'll do.

Mine used to do this right before a big developmental step -- crawling, walking, talking.
Hopefully it's the talking. She's due for that one.
It's like she's suddenly lost the ability to amuse herself--which luckily for me she developed young--or to go to sleep fairly readily when she needs a nap. And I can't decide whether it's best to coddle her a little, or if that would encourage my heretofore independent little daughter to turn into Clingabel.
{{Gud}} I hope your day improves.
sj, I'm still ~ma-ing for your nephew and family. It's so hard to hear a little babe has to have surgery.
Susan, I'm sorry to hear that Annabel is having a rough time right now. Soon she'll be able to tell you what's wrong!
I had breakfast today with one of the Sierra Club's lawyers. The whole Cheney/Energy Committee thing is his case. They are smarting from the 8-0 decision that they lost. Yesterday, a reporter called my friend for comment and told him that when she'd called the VP's office (for a comment) the spokesperson refused to give the reporter her name. Why? "Because it is a secret." Direct quote from the VP's office.
Sean, if y'all could hold each other's hair back, I think you've got keepers. I think you can trust each other now.
I can't believe anybody would find GS paganish or anything, Connie.
Soon she'll be able to tell you what's wrong!
My neighbor with the 2-year-old assures me the time will come when I'll wonder why I was so anxious for her to talk!

I love it when they're that age and they're playing with new words. The other night a friend's 3 year old called a drumstick a chickenstick (as in "IwannachickenstickI'mhungrychickenstick!" and I still find myself giggling.
