We're great. Em pulled herself up onto her knees in her bassinett yesterday. She's theeeese close to pulling all the way up on her feet. She turns 6 months tomorrow and she also eats toast.

You are both trying to kill me with ovary pain.

6 months already - jeez man. Is she going to have birthday toast?

You know what's kind of funny? I never saw any difference in baby boys and baby girls, but Em is so clearly a girl in her photos (as is Lily). It must be another one of those mental changes that motherhood brings.

Don't worry, sj, it's probably just indigestion. Take a Pepto Bismol and call me in the morning.

We totally need a mom thread. hee.

Heh. I'm sure there are plenty Buffistas who wish we would get our own thread so we don't talk about kids and stuff in public. God, I can't believe I've turned into one of Those People.

(but Mal's so cute! And he does neat things! And likes carrots!)

OK, really going to bed now.

I approve of the mom talk. It makes me want babies.

I approve of the mom talk too.

It's been two weeks, and the temp agency has yet to find any work for me. I was hoping that I'd have the same luck with them here as I did in Baltimore and therefore get steady income to live on while doing the career counseling thing and looking for a job I really want to do.

I know that two weeks isn't a long time, but I've reached my own personal frustration point. I am hauling my resume back out, looking at job offers in the paper, and getting contact info for companies I'd like to work for.

All well and good, except that I HATE this. I went for months sending resumes out into a seeming void, and I'm scared to death it's going to happen again. I haven't even heard back from the store where I applied for part time work, and it's been over a week.

Increased job~ma to you, Anne. I hope you hear something soon.
