give me a break

Here's a question- why is it assumed that because I didn't give birth to my daughters that I'm a moron? No, really? Is it some sort of natural law that I don't know about that unless you experience childbirth, you're an idiot when it comes to children? This is a touchy subject to me (consider yourself warned). I understand that there are a lot of people, even women, who know next to nothing about babies. I get that. Just because someone hasn't pushed a person out of their body doesn't mean they're ignorant. Even more- just because you have carried a pregnancy full term, doesn't mean that you're some how some sort of baby genius. So here's the deal; stop assuming I'm stupid. I know how to hold a baby. I know how to change a diaper, and I even know how to feed them. While I appreciate your advice, (well, sort of, but mostly not at all) you might want to give advice that's needed, or wanted. Don't assume that you're some sort of 'super-mom' and that I need you to tell me how to hold a baby or how to put the S and H together to make the shhh-ing sound. If you have advice on more trivial things, I'm all ears. But think before you speak and stop talking down to me.

pictures

Here are some pictures that have been sitting on my camera for a little while. I shot a lot of Meranda so I could have some cute pictures to send to Lindsay in Iraq, Evan in Virginia, and Cait who's in Missouri. They haven't met her yet so I figured it the least I could do. Aren't I nice?

I ♥ my mac

See? I told you I'd come back.

Yesterday we went and got a new computer. Finally. Ours had been hating us for a while and it finally decided to die. We're better off. It was old and annoying. It ran slower than slow and would freeze all the time. Not to mention how it would just shut off randomly. Although, I will say this- back in its prime it was a great computer. Anyhow, with part of our tax return we bought a Mac. I love it! At first I wasn't so sold on Macs. But once I played with one for a little while I fell in love. I'm very glad my pc died. Having a Mac is fabulous. :)

from the silence

Dear reader,

I haven't forgotten you.

My computer died.

I will blog again when I get a new one.

Soon.
