last night kaileb crawled in bed with me. which makes it difficult to sleep anyway because i’m worried about hitting his arm. but when he wakes up in the middle of the night cause it hurts and wants to sleep in my bed, i have a hard time even being coherent, much less mustering the energy to get my ass out of bed to take him back to his, tuck him in and convince him to stay there. so not worth the effort.
then, at 5:30ish he bolts out of bed with a start.
“MOM. MOMM! you’re really late for work, MOM!”
i jumped up and looked at the clock.
“kaileb. it’s 5:30 in the morning.”
“oh. A.M.? i thought it was P.M.”
then he lays back down and goes back to sleep. but of course, i was wide awake, having just been scared to death.
plus, he likes to lay sideways with his feet either on my face or on my chest.
is it any wonder i’m exhausted by day’s end?

A Woman's Manifesto
Because a woman’s work is never done.
and is underpaid, or unpaid, or boring, or repetitious,
and we’re the first to get fired,
and what we look like is more important than what we do.
And if we get raped its our fault
and if we get beaten we must have provoked it
and if we raise our voices we’re nagging bitches
and if we enjoy sex we’re nymphos
and if we don’t we’re frigid
and if we love women it’s because we can’t get a real man
and if we ask our doctor too many questions we’re neurotic or pushy
and if we expect childcare we’re selfish
and if we stand up for our rights we’re aggressive and un-feminine
and if we don’t we’re typical weak females
and if we want to get married we’re out to trap a man
and if we don’t we’re unnatural
and because we still can’t get an adequate, safe contraceptive, but men can walk on the moon
and if we can’t cope or don’t want a pregnancy we’re made to feel guilty about abortion
and for lots and lots of other reasons
we are part of the women’s liberation movement.- Joyce Stevens, International Woman’s Day, 1975.
Man Vs. Heart Attack
I am somewhat worried about the dude on Man v Food. He isn’t looking so good these days and putting that food away like that can’t be good for him.
