The first one

It’s mama’s birthday today. The first one without her here.

My emotions and focus are all over the map today. I want to cry, and I want to celebrate her, and I want to be grateful her suffering is over and her pain gone, but mostly — like always — I just want to talk to her.

I miss you mama. Happy birthday.

Follow-up from Saturday night…

…the boy still won’t sleep. It’s godawful infuriating. And being pg/hormonal I’m impatient already, so lack of sleep and personal time is wearing my nerves thin.

These two-year molars better make their appearance damn soon, because this teething crap has gone on long enough.

They should just be born with teeth.

Why?

Why won’t my toddler sleep? Why? I just want him to go to sleep. Long enough for me to get some time by myself in my own head before I too retire for the night.

Send sleepy dust my way please. Before I lose my mind.

Sourdough Portraits

I love my homemade bread. It’s rustic, flavorful, and the whole process is satisfying. Even when I whine about how long it all takes, I’m secretly very pleased about it all. Ok, maybe not so secretly.

Sourdough loaves I baked last night from my wild yeast starter:



And, yes, I’m aware that taking pictures of my bread is a wee bit strange. Deal. It’s damn yummy bread.

(If you’re at all curious, this is the recipe I used. My crumb isn’t that open yet. Give me time.)
