Sounds fun, but you should be blogging godamn it.
You’re obviously sleeping too much.
mmm, mixed bag, will be thinking of you in this time as you support your mom - great to have a doula support meeting - I’m so jealous, wish I could come! Have you checked to see if Birth, by Karen Brody, is being performed in your local area this month?
Karen, yep, I did check and I would have to drive 3 hours in any direction to see the play. With being on-call for the funeral, then on-call soon for births, not sure if it is a possibility. Wahhhh. Eventually I WILL see that play.
