"There is most certainly a conspiracy afoot to hide the whole truth from potential new mothers. Were it not for this organized campaign, our species would run the very serious risk of losing all evolutionary viability. The Le Leche League may or may not be involved." -Government’s Investigative Committee on Parenting

Sweet, nourishing miiiilk. Give it me now.
2015 UPDATE
- After being a single mom for four years, Nathaniel now has a stepdad!
- Those four years were rough, but I found out I could handle it which was awesome.
- These years also were a long saga of emotional difficulties for Nathaniel and after many therapy sessions, teacher meetings, psychologists, etc etc we ended up with "the good new and the bad." Good: His I.Q. got him a Mensa membership at age 8. Bad: ADHD and ODD. Okay, I'll retract the word "bad" and say "challenging."
- I didn't write in here for a long time because, after a divorce, you worry what can be taken out of context and used against you...and my humor leans to the self-effacing. Judge: you say here in your blog "I'm a totally screwed up mom. What did you mean by that?" Me: I was joking? Sort of?
