Crackin’ The Whip
Day 2 of Lotus Is Sick & Whiney.
Slept horribly last night. My nose was insanely stuffed up, so my mouth kept dropping open. Apparently, this causes excessive drying of the mouth. That was my guess, anyway, when I woke up and and tried to get some saliva going, only to realize that my tongue was permanently glued to the roof of my mouth. It’s a good thing this isn’t radio, or I’d be sca-rewed.
The next Project Support Beauty in Nature post will go up on Monday, March 10th.
The Breastfeeding and Birth Story Carnivals (mentioned in yesterday’s post) are on. FYI: Bottle Feeders are MORE than welcome to link in with posts about their own decisions for feeding (we did both!). We’re NOT here to judge. We’re here to share and celebrate nurturing and the experiences that resulted, period. Similarly, I’d LOVE to hear Adoption Stories as part of the Birth Story Carnival. I’ll let you know the dates soon. I’ll be sure to give you advanced notice. So Stay Tuned! There’s more to come.
Here’s what we’re doing today:
The Question Game.
I saw Beck do this awhile back, and thought it was cute – thought I might try it eventually. Then I noticed that other people (like Sandy and Secret Agent Mama) were doing it. They seemed to have fun, and I enjoyed reading their answers. And I figure, it’s a good thing to do, at a time when I’m tired and sick… I’ll put YOU to work for a bit!
So, do you have questions for me? Ask away. What do you want to hear about? I’ll let this post simmer and collect whatever questions you may have, and then later, I’ll answer them all.
Besides, what else do you have to do with your time on a Tuesday? Procreate?
Now get to typin’ yer questions!





Maria
I want to know – what do you do when you have an itch that you can’t reach and there’s no one else around to assist you in scratching it?

I had all of the smart-ass, obscene questions prepared and then I realized, “She’s sick, you fool. She’ll hate you.” So, out of respect for your feelings (and an ardent desire to suck up) I will defer those EXTREMELY personal questions for another time.
Get well, sweetheart. Get well.

-Was is hard getting used to being sahm as opposed to a “working woman” going to a job every day outside the home?
-Are you one of those “I loved being pregnant” women or one of those “the last few months I felt like dying women”?
-Are you a homebody a lot or get out of the house everyday and go somewhere person?

Tanya
Do you ever wonder/think about Braden when he’s older, like what sport he’s going to play at school and what type of person he’ll be? Do you think he’ll be academic or better with his hands? Do you ever guess? Can you already tell?
I’ve thought about those sorts of things, when I have my own children I want them to be safe and happy but I also want them to do a few team sports and things, and I really don’t know what they’ll be because I’m artistic and academic and nathan is the opposite he’s a builder and better with his hands, good at maths and logic.
I always make jokes with Nathan about Jordon saying ‘You think he likes girls now? Wait until he’s 15…!’ then he gets scared. Then I remind him that he’ll have to give him the talk…..hehe.
And the opposite question:
Do you ever sit and watch him, thinking about when he was younger and even remembering when he was in the womb?
and one more question
How does it FEEL to have something so wonderful that you made, a piece of you, something special that you and your partner made together? Is it as great as it sounds?

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop?
Also, what is the food you just can’t stop eating, even when you’re not hungry any more, as long as there’s more in the pot or on your plate or in the carton or whatever? (For me, it’s cheesecake. Or guacamole. Depending on my mood.)
