I just read that the flight attendants of British Airway are going to have a strike for 22 days. I’m wondering if they now have time to find my luggage that contains all of my favorite clothes that they lost in the summer of 2008?
I never thought I would become a nazi mommy. My friend’s kid is sick and so is she, and she’s wearing a surgical mask around the house so she doesn’t reinfect her. I used to laugh at this type of mom behavior, and now after going out to eat sushi and seeing how Tin got overtired being out of his routine and how being out affected his stomach (as he spit up his formula when…
I’ve waited a lifetime to have someone call me mommy, to watch my child eat in his high chair, and to caress the little body at bath time and dressing time. Little Tin is more than a mother could ask for. What’s his story? His story is this – the stork delivered him to the wrong house and so he spent nine months on a bumpy road till two fairy godmothers (yes, that would be…
I spoke with my brother earlier today and told him mom sent us a blessing, he said, “A blessing, a white same sex couple bringing up a black boy, sounds like a challenge.” I told him, “You’re jealous because we lead a more interesting life than you.” Today when we were walking around the mall, everyone wanted to get a look at Tin – he’s gorgeous, not just because he’s cute but because he has…
I had a cup of tea earlier today and the label said “Beauty is in everything you do.” Today, after working in the hotel lobby with Ellen and all the other morning and daytime talk shows playing full blast on two flat screen TVs, I came back to feed Tin his bottle in the bathroom with the hot water running. Then late in the afternoon I ran to Babies R Us and bought a Peg…
Back to the digital age and having an infant. Last night, just when we thought Tin was getting over his cold, he woke in the middle of the night with a barky cough. This went on intermittently and of course, I got no sleep worrying about him. Then I got up early and looked up barky cough online and it said croup. Apparently this strikes children under three and all of the identifiers fit him…
I dreamed last night that we were on a plane, then in a car, then on a boat, headed for a house on the beach. When we finally got there, we went out to the deck and walked towards the water. My two uncles walked up with pinched foreheads and I walked quickly over to find out what was wrong and my mother was behind them. They said she was concerned because she had a…
Tin, no fire, don’t touch the fire, Tin, no fire, don’t touch, Tin, are you listening?
We’ve been dealing with the cold here in the midwest as well as the colds – first Tin’s then mine and hoping it stops there – I slept most of the day on the sofa in a deep, coma sleep that only the sick enjoy. Meanwhile, a sister from another country, Shanghai sent me this note: According to Chinese saying, we even would like to say that your mom’s sprit goes to Tin’s body and…
I don’t know what could be bigger news than Tin joining our family, but this is pretty big news: December 13, 2009 Houston Is Largest City to Elect Openly Gay Mayor By JAMES C. McKINLEY Jr. HOUSTON — Houston became the largest city in the United States to elect an openly gay mayor on Saturday night, as voters gave a solid victory to the city controller, Annise Parker.
