The Mommy Files

Things I really appreciate now that I'm a mom:

• Short story collections. I really don't have time for a big honkin' novel (although I did manage to read The Da Vinci Code in a week, but that's not really literature).
• Public restrooms with well-maintained changing table stations that I'm not afraid to touch.
• Bouncer seats.
• MY mom.
• Meals that only require one hand to eat.
• Ceiling fans. No need to purchase pricy baby toys if you have a ceiling fan in the house!
• Baby smiles.

Things I really appreciate about my child:

• She's not the children I see in the library. Of course, she's only 2.5 months old, but she's still better behaved than most of the kids there.
• She's a happy little pork chop.
