I'm super-duper lousy with email.  I love comments, make a point to visit blogs and comment, and I try to answer questions.  I really, really try.  The little guy takes precedence over all, however, so I often never get to emails.  It's just the way it is right now.  I really do appreciate the comments though.  Sometimes, after a really tough day when nothing seems to go right and I feel not-so-good, someone saying one little thing here gives me this tremendous boost.  I was surprised to discover this wonderful way to connect in a world where daily interactions can be tenuous, and I really value it.

About ~ 
The self part, in three parts: I once wore pink socks to junior high school in Japan, throwing a dreadful wrench in an otherwise uniform day and sealing my inner reality of quiet rebellion for life.  Two: I once received a "Super F" grade from one of my first graders, but most of the time I rated an "A," I think, with Morning Marches over and under the desks to kick our days off right.  Three: we moved to town where my parents, sister (& boyfriend) and grandparents live (25 minutes from my in-laws).  Everyone seemed to congregate.  We like family and, since becoming a family of three ourselves, have found a very happy, tired existence here (consisting of daily wanderings, musical spinning, economical everything, books and laughter). 

The mama part: it is the self part now.  I find the journey fascinating, difficult and full of joy. 

This space: I jumped into the blog to write, threw a little sewing in and have been playing  here ever since.  Thanks for stopping in!
