Writing during naps is my favorite non-waste of time. When I can, I fit writing into the three billion other things I have to do each day. I really should be saving the planet, the animals, and the children. For now I selfishly work on saving what’s left of my sanity.
When professionally writing and editing, I’m an independent academic and freelance naming consultant. But I do all that after the small one goes to bed.
When professionally raising a wonderful human being, I’m too captivated by the roller coaster that informs my parental ambivalence to do anything but hang on for the ride.

Ok, so I just bought 10 books on ebay. Why oh why didn’t I start reading your blog before I did that? (Well, because I haven’t had a single moment to myself since you started the blog, but that’s beside the point.) Who needs books? As long as you keep posting daily I can use your blog as my nighttime reading for a thought provoking and laughter inducing escape from MY day. However, seeing as your main career right now is raising Peanut, which leaves your life completely unpredictable and at the whim of the toddler gods, there may be some days where you can’t post. And then what would I do? Good thing I bought those books on ebay today!

Oh, hurrah. Having become the proud parent a new (at this moment) 7-week-old boy, I am so thrilled to find a wonderful source of parentally ambivalent fellow-feeling.
I suspect I will be back, over and over.
