THE LONG ROAD

My husband and I have been losing sleep lately, trying to convince our boy he’s not a vampire.  It’s not just the biting, and the refusing to eat people food, though, certainly those are problems worth addressing.  But how do you make a 3-yr-old understand abstract concepts like, we are diurnal creatures, child - humans are designed

It's interesting to get the perspective of other people on things that have become just water under the bridge in my own life... there've been times I've seen folks react emotionally to stories of my experiences I didn't even tell in an emotional manner... I guess it's easy for me to forget about the difficulties.

I consider some of my past to have been challenging, for sure, and even problematic, at times, though some of that is a result of my own making, even while some of the kinds of mistakes I've made were from following paths it was unlikely I could have avoided going down, given the starting points I sprang from, or in some cases the directions I was pushed in. I still try to be introspective enough to appreciate what has made me who I am, to learn from my mistakes wherever I'm able whenever possible, and to always be learning and growing and trying to do better. I don't always succeed, but that's the goal... and one I hope to pass on to our son.

I certainly do intend on telling the story of his delivery... this was just not the week for it.

We are working on righting Firebird's schedule... we actually had it corrected for two nights this week, and then had a minor setback last night, but I hope we are able to get it recorrected again before the new workweek starts.

As always, thanks very much for your insightful comments! :-)
