Both of the children are asleep and it's 2:30pm. HOW WEIRD. I think the force of those words going out into the universe will probably wake at least one of them up or alternatively cause the phone to ring. If you're reading this, don't call me! :)

Sadie's favorite book is "Baby Faces" by Margaret Miller. And on TV she's watching Baby Einstein or when her brother influences her choice it's Baby Galileo. Her favorite toy is her zebra rattle mitten thingy. She likes to put her rattle mitten on and then wang her hand around. Good times.

Benny is asking for waffles. Good sign. Sadie and I are coughing and have sore throats and feel crabby and miserable. So there is up and there is down. The Tao of infection.

It's my mother's birthday today. She would have been 91. I miss her so terribly right now, I feel like I'm going crazy. Your mother is the person who loves you more than anything else in the world. I know this because I see how I love my children. Once your mother is gone, there is a terrible emptiness where you used to feel that person that was on your side no matter what. I feel awful blackness right now, I know it's partly sleep-deprivation but I feel like I'm really falling. Fortunately I have a person, a parent, who still loves me like that, my Ahno. Without her this week I would truly be lost. And I have a husband who adores me and two children who I can experience love with the way my mother loved me. Still, it stinks.

'Member when I was like, "Oh, she's taking a binky. Let joy be unconfined." Well I hope you didn't unconfine your joy all the way because she's NOT TAKING A BINKY. It was a momentary lapse. She's got her priorities straight again now. Whew.

Sadie's seven weeks old yesterday, by the way. How do you like them apples? No, really, I mean how do you like them? Are they good? Not too ripe, not too sour? Proper color, shape, etc? Write back soon. Love, Sleep Deprivation Sally.

Alright enough of these screaming and crying pictures!

Here are three pages of Sadie pictures from the last week or so that are less petulant and miserable!
