I try really hard not portray or endorse traditional gender roles with Emeline. Most of the ones that she has are pretty typical developmentally and don't have a lot to do with what she's been taught or has witnessed or has been exposed to.
But.
I honestly never thought that I would be trolling the interwebs for an educational skeleton for a 5 year old girl.
Aimee! Did you see MAC's new collection coming in the fall?

ALL OF THE MAC WILL BE MINE. And probably Jilli's. Cause she will beat me with her parasol, otherwise.
Thanks for the job~ma, Omnis and Shir. I'm trying not to get my hopes up.
Cats and food: When I was growing up, our cat, Isabella, decided she really wanted to try corn-on-the-cob. She jumped on the table and swiped the piece my mom was eating out of her hands and onto the floor. Then I had two cats who loved cantelope, although they mostly licked it, rather than eat.
Fern, get your hopes up a little bit! Have the confidence that it could be yours. Especially when you interview. And when you get the job, do not fall asleep when reading up on PAL card. Oy that stuff is boring. Thank you state of CA for making something fun (spending money) so boring and complicated.
ION- I think I might have pulled a minor medical coup. I had the brilliant idea to contact the local MDA clinic and ask if there are any PCP's that are MDA knowing. Well. It turns out my new employer is the closest clinic (sweet!), and the head of the clinic gave me 3 names to choose from. First choice wasn't taking new patients, but second was! The sad part is, I came up with this brilliant idea
after
I filled out the benefits info, and picked the HMO that she doesn't accept. Luckily I'm still within my first month, so I can still change my mind. I just can't do it online easy.
ND and my good friend Tina lost her mother yesterday. She knew it was coming, yet...it's always sudden. Her brother D is with her in Florida, where she's been caring for her mom for the past six months. I'm glad she's not alone, but I wish he had more of a support system down there. I wish I could fly down and help her.
Peace and healing -ma would be appreciated for her.
Coffee: Some of may have met her at our reception--she'd flown in from Florida to be there for us. She's a great friend.
Much ~ma to your friend, Pix.
I'm in the university for over 12 hours now, and need to stay longer to finish something.
Send help.
Job~ma, Fern.
Kristin, ~ma to your friend. I am sorry for her loss.
Shir, I hope you get to leave soon.
sends tea
I stayed up to finish reading a book last night, and I fell asleep with the book in my hand with 2 pages to go. Pathetic.
