Single Mamas

As Lucia and I returned home from a walk this afternoon, we passed three men doing some lawnwork. I gave one of them a significant look--a look that said, "Don't you dare start your insanely loud grass clipper while I walk by with my sleepy baby." Another of them said to me, "Hell-ooo."

As I walked away, I heard him say, "Man, I'd love to live in this neighborhood. All the single mamas..."

Single mamas? If I were a single mama, how, pray tell, would I be walking around outside in the middle of a workday? The comment was so ridiculous that I chuckled to myself the rest of the way home.

That story is hilarious! See - after baby - still beautiful. :)

and I can tell you - I work at a school where there are a lot of "single mamas" that don't have a job!! I do wonder about that, but unfortunately - it is true. :)

I posted this comment on an older post, but I will repost it here because I know blogger doesn't alert you to comments. At least it doesn't alert me to comments on my blog.

I love reading your blog. Your writing is so poetic. You have a great talent and for that I respect you, but as for Lucia's sleeping problems you should read a book called Babywise. I am a nanny who specializes in sleep training and have helped many babies learn to sleep through the night. My own 15 week old daughter is sleeping anywhere between 10-13 hours a night without waking. Look into it. If you can handle implementing it, you'll have your nights back in no time!
