This is one of the busiest, craziest times of the year, so I don't think you're that bad :)

I'm starting to feel like Master Shake in the 'Super Spore' episode of ATHF: Master Shake: Hey, how ya doing? I think I need to go to the doctor. Cause I've been losing long, long tracks of time now, and...and I'm starting to get just a little freaked out about the fact that my hand is missing. I can't find it. Frylock: Shake you'll be fine. That hole in your head will heal up in no time. Master Shake: Hole? Oh thats great. I'm sure it was drilled on one of those days I can't remember.

April, sorry you forgot. But it's no big deal and you're clearly not a bad mom. Is there a calendar function in your phone that could remind you next week?

2012 has been a long year. It has been an eventful year full of challenges. But with those challenges came strain, as if I had done innumerable reps lifting weights that were beyond the capacity of my strength and endurance. I have been left sore and feeling like I pulled a muscle or two. But with the micro-tears of muscle fibers, new growth can...
...occur. With the strain of exercise comes increased strength and stamina. I've had the workout of my life in 2012; in mind, body, and spirit. I've overcome challenges that another version of me would have shirked. I am confronting my fears, but not in an aggressive way. (Admittedly, that is what a lesser evolved me would have thought to do.) I've learned to face my fears head on with...

I'm picking up on a nice tingly, warm, and fuzzy feeling about 2013. I sense that it will be a year of unity and harmony. I pray that it will come true.
And if I'm wrong, then whatever.
I did say to myself that I was aiming to make many mistakes this year. ^_^

I'm taking a couple days off with Paul at Half Moon Bay for some post-holiday r&r. I miss my kids, that goes without saying, but I have to say that I am also missing my Buster boo boo, like, ridiculously a lot! He has been a wonderful addition to our family and I'm so glad Kevin and Rachel let me be his adoptive mommy. Thank you guys, so much!!

""Studies have shown measurable effects on multiple body and brain systems, said Doraiswamy. Those include mood neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), reproductive hormones (testosterone), social bonding hormones (oxytocin), cognitive and pleasure related neurotransmitters (dopamine), inflammatory and immune systems (cytokines), stress hormones (cortisol), cardiac and EEG rhythms, blood pressure, and blood sugar.""

Hmm, looks like April got her answer on FB, per her update: "Update: So, I've inquired with my friends on FB and we've narrowed it down to an Easter Egger/Americauna/Sussex mix."

""Marriage as the union between one man and one woman has been the universally-recognized understanding of marriage not only since America's founding but for millennia.” —Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council, in response to the recent finding that gay people have a fundamental right to form families based upon legal marriage. Having just co-authored a book where we survey the concept of marriage across many cultures, I’m calling B.S. on Mr. Perkins. He hasn’t got a clue what he’s talking about. But Perkins isn’t alone in his vehement ignorance. A common refrain among those arguing against allowing same-sex marriage is that doing so would alter a long-standing trans-cultural definition of marriage. Rick Warren, the controversial evangelist Obama invited to speak at his inauguration, told Ann Curry in an NBC interview that, "For five thousand years, every single culture and every single religion has defined marriage as a man and a woman." Hogwash. In fact, the world is...

"Among the Canela people of Brazil, "Virginity loss is only the first step into full marriage for a woman." There are several other steps needed before the Canela society considers a couple to by truly married, including the young woman's gaining social acceptance through her service in a "festival men's society," which includes sequential sex with fifteen to twenty members (no pun intended) and "the mother in law's receipt of meat earned by the bride through extramarital sex" on a festival day."

When he says "universally-recognized understanding of marriage", he means "universally-recognized by non-heathens", no doubt excluding such heathens as Mormons and everybody in the bible who has multiple wives.

Camilla: "Mommy, I want you to drive. Not Daddy."
Me: "I'm feeling tired, Camilla. I think I'll have Daddy drive."
Camilla: "No! I want you to do it!"
Me: "Camilla, either Daddy drives or we stay home. Those are your options."
Camilla: "When I grow up, I'm going to go snowboarding when it's snowing outside in Utah and Thomas is going to say, 'Camilla! Camilla! What are you doing?' and I'm going to say, 'I'm snowboarding!'"
