So, teething then?

I feel like since the Cheeks turned 4 months and found her hands, people have been speculating that she's teething  (on account of the drool). Let the record show that drool is not directly correlated to teething; it's a developmental piece from her hands being in her mouth, creating extra saliva. Ok.

But I think now we might really be teething. I've heard Charlie make some sounds in the past few days that I've never heard before.  Like save me, Momma, I'm in so much pain cries.

I'm curious to see if that irritability continues or if it's something else. Or if she just wakes up one day soon with a toother. Toofer, if you will. Of course you will.

Any words of sage wisdom from you, my fine friends who have experienced the call of a teething baby?

    aww sweet girl! Raegan was extra clingy today too. She had 1 tooth pop through last week and it didn't seem to bother her. Granted she also had her 6 month shots so the discomfort from those probably over shadowed the tooth coming in. Then today the 2nd bottom tooth is making it's appearance. She is loving a frozen, wet washcloth to chew on. Anything cold really! Hope it pops through soon!

It is not 1950; I do not vacuum in pearls.

Hi, it's me - I know it's been a while, but I've been deep inside that bubble I mentioned when everything first happened in November 2020 and I am starting to emerge having done some serious healing and navigating within the trauma of being a suicide survivor and a sole parent. This has nothing to do with that though. I'm dumping this thought here because I need it documented: You know how the conservative crowd tends to use "Well I don't have any children, why should I help pay for the schools?" and "People are just too lazy to work, I don't know why we need social services to help people pay for their child care and food?" I'm noticing those are the same voices I hear in restaurants complaining that there are no servers. No bartenders. No one available to change their oil or to do other trade work. And no one to watch their children.  The CEO of the company I work for posted a big response about how child care is the gatekeeper to folks...

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?

That time we sold our house.

Porch, Charlotte, and I are excited to share that we are moving!  If you follow us on Facebook, you know that we put our house up for sale on Thursday.  By Saturday afternoon, we had 3 offers on the table and we accepted!  I can't even begin to express our shock, our joy, our excitement, and our nervousness about the months ahead. We put an offer on a house closer to my new job as Charlie attends the center and being closer means that Porch can drop her off on my early shift (6am-3pm) and pick her up on my late shift (9:30-6:30pm) so Charlie isn't spending all of her waking hours in child care.  We're ridiculously excited, yet cautious. The new house has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and is begging for a series of updates.  There are a number of projects that await us but we're so excited to call this new place home and to make it into something that's truly ours.  A home we can grow into.  A home we can share with our family over the years and create ...
