I asked her today who told her that nuns kill their children. She said that nobody had. I think she assumed that because they don't have kids they ... http://agogandaghast.com/2008/06/24/just-hi/ After dinner tonight, my husband took Rachel to her fiddling lesson, which left Hannah, Little Brother and I with some time alone. Hannah suggested that I give LB a bath at the same time as her, and I did. Then I got them both in their pajamas ... http://agogandaghast.com/2008/06/23/wtf/ My hands are full. This is all I can manage to give you today. http://agogandaghast.com/2008/06/16/self-portrait-bonding/ As I reflected last week on my first forty years, despite the fact that I don't have my cute twenty year old figure back yet (I still have the dream), I felt proud and happily satisfied as I looked back on my life. I've tried to live my first ... http://agogandaghast.com/2008/06/15/happy-fathers-day/ Who's there? Forty. Forty? Yes, I'm forty now. My birthday came and went without a whole lot of fanfare.

For some strange reason, I lost all of it within two weeks after I had the baby. It just fell off. Weird, but a nice surprise. I think a lot of the ... http://agogandaghast.com/2008/06/09/fyi/ I'm sure no one has notices or cares, but I've missed a few days and am failing my "post every day of June" goal. It seems I have to choose between writing a post, doing housework, and getting sleep. I don't mind getting behind on housework, but ... http://agogandaghast.com/2008/06/08/randomness/ If someone asks me if going from two to three is as hard as going from one to two, I won't quite no how to answer. For one, I'm very good at self-denial. I've got this weird survival mechanism within me that doesn't realize something ... http://agogandaghast.com/2008/06/05/different-is-the-new-normal/ It's getting hard to have a conversation with my husband without a certain seven-year old trying to keep up. "People were really upset about Hillary's speech today," I told my husband after dinner tonight. "Why were they upset," Rachel interjected. (She's been following the primaries since January and knew that ... http://agogandaghast.com/2008/06/04/how-do-you-get-to-be-a-super-delegate/
