I sit here, as usual, with a kid on my boob, who is nursing and pushing at the arm of the couch at the same time.....maybe that's how these boobs got so droopy. All the arm of couch pushing, while attached to the boob.

now she is off my boob.

one of my younger sisters told me the funniest thing (to me, of course), that has stuck with me for awhile now....when I told her how I have such a hard time meeting other parents like myself, she said that was because they are all home, alone, too busy being attached to their kids. i don't know if I would consider my parenting philosophy that of "attached," but it seems to be the closest thing, even considering all my struggles with this thing called discipline. How I wish I could truly embrace gentle discipline....no shouting, spanking, intimidating.....I need to be the mother they deserve....plain and simple.
