OK, so I'll be poster number 1,672 here, but I need to say it, even if it never gets read, so what the hell:
I very nearly take offense (well, almost anyway) at this for one single reason: I'm a dad (so, it's not just moms). You're a hell of a writer Heather, and clearly an even better Mom. How can anyone read what you write and not feel it permeating every word and phrase? Oh, right, because they came with their own agenda first.
I come to the site for the very reason that, in addition to being an enjoyable read that can easily run the gamut of so many emotions in a single post, it is the feeling of parental solidarity I get from reading your posts. It helps me remember that I too can (and will) survive the challenges and the crazy ups and downs. Oh yeah, and it reminds me of the seemingly countless ways that I love my kids so damn much that it defies logic, reason, words...
Well done. Very well done indeed.
