"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Seska, I've btdt. I stopped going to Spina Bifida events because I was sick of hearing how lucky I am. Sorry you had to deal with that on top of everything else.

“Not dead yet!”

ok confess why you are really buying that house.

Because we'd never find another house so perfectly suited to Abby? < is cheeky>

And one of the reasons we're moving is because we'd like to be able to entertain again. People we enjoy hanging out with, even. Hence, a great kitchen is an absolute must.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Seska, I'm so sorry you have to go through this in a place you should feel safe, honored for who you are and loved.

I'd suggest violence, but it's just me.

I have less than two hours until Yom Kippur will enter. I decided this year I'll read and try to fast, but mostly to take it easy. Wish it would be accepted in my house to go to the synagogue. There are some holidays I wouldn't mind to go and see how they do it in the synagogues.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Seska, I've btdt.

Thanks, sj. Always helpful to know it's not just me! I've been going to this church for four years. I feel like they should have worked out by now that sometimes I appear in a wheelchair, sometimes I appear on crutches, and that asking me about it is only going to lead to me either rolling over their toes or accidentally beating them about the head with a walking aid.

Wish it would be accepted in my house to go to the synagogue. There are some holidays I wouldn't mind to go and see how they do it in the synagogues.

Shir, are you not able to go alone to synagogue? If not, then I'm sorry to hear you're discouraged from doing what you want to. I mostly grew up going to church alone, after my parents decided it was a Bad Thing, so I can relate.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Shir, are you not able to go alone to synagogue?

I can do this, but it'll mean facing my parents and tell them where I'm going.

My mom was raised very secular and hates most aspects of religion. My dad stopped going to the synagogue after 1973 war and his mother's passing that year. Faith (as in religious faith, not personal "the way of things" faith) is somewhat a taboo to speak of. So I prefer to keep my interest in seeing how it's done in synagogues to later in life, and be with my family.

Right, better go and finish last errands towards this day.

Jewishstas, may you be signed and sealed in the book of life. Happy new year.

Have a happy and peaceful Yom Kipuur and New Year, Shir.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Today Ryan learned the importance of timing. Every night at 10:30, I get to give him his last feed of the day. This involves waking him up gently, then I change his nappy, give him his bottle, have a bit of a cuddle and then put him back to bed. It's a smooth operation; he's back in bed, yawning and settling himself off to sleep again within twenty minutes or so.

Except tonight. I've got his old nappy off, and he takes that moment to grab my hand and start nomming on it. This is extremely cute, he curls up his whole body to hug my hand while he's doing it.) By the time I get myself untangled, I realise it was all just a decoy for his real plan - he's taken advantage of his freebird status to pee all over himself. Cheeky noodle. I now have a baby in a sodden onesie, clearly convinced he's struck a blow for something. Now he's going to get a whole outfit change, and possibly a new bib announcing "Fight the Power!"

Fortunately, he still had his bottle to come, and even if he's wide awake when we start, he's drowsy again by the time he's finished it.He always has a big smile for his daddy when I put him back to bed. Lovely little man.
