Also...
Two last items:
1. Is it wrong to lock up some of Josiah's toys that he likes but that drive ME crazy? Things like Legos and puzzles with a million pieces that I get sooooo sick and tired of picking up? I have put them in a cupboard in his room and put a childproof cabinet lock on them. I plan on getting one item at a time out of there with the understanding that it is a grand treat for him to use it and that he must clean it up after playing with it. Honestly, the picking up of Legos is making me insane...and have you ever stepped on a Lego? Dang!
2. I just finished reading Daniel Mendelsohn's The Lost: The Search for Six of Six Million. It was absolutely incredible. As the title would imply, the subject matter is the Holocaust, specifically Mr. Mendelsohn's search for a great-uncle and his family who were killed in or around their small Polish village. The author begins the search for information about this family, his family, with amazing results. Travelling all over the world, from Australia to Israel to Sweden to Poland, he pieces together bits and pieces of information and eventually gains enough of a truth to satisfy himself (and his readers). An excellent book and the first piece of non-fiction that I've read in a very long time that didn't completely bore me.

As of right now, I think you're about to earn your CRAZY badge for your CRAZY LADIES sash.
Then when I start thinking about Girl Scouts/Brownies, I get all sad remembering that I never got the whole uniform. Just the sash and beanie. Snif. I'm still sad about that.
Well, lay in a supply of books for those six weeks off you have coming. Reading was the only thing good about the failed experiment called "breastfeeding Josiah".
