The Upstate NY Moss Family
My husband is Polo and our children are our 10 year old dd Rosey-Posey, 7 year old ds Posco,3 year old ds Fastolph and 1 year old (as of 1/29) Gorbulas.
So Sleepy
I have the flu. I am a horrible sick person. I hate being sick (like anyone loves it). I would give anything to climb into bed, but the little ones keep me up. Posco (yes a common name among us Mosses of the Shire) the 7 year old and Fastolph (3 year old) fight continuously. I stopped to think about how miserable I felt, and how I wish I could go to bed. It then occured to me how blessed I am that my big problem of the day is that I have these children to tend to. More like a blessing and a great occasion for penance.
My husband, Polo Moss, told me not to worry about cooking tonight. With the realisation that I had an opportunity to do penance, I made pizza dough, and it got all smooshy and pasty. Oh well, maybe I will skip dinner making penance tonight...
Some quotes from the article:
Obstetricians tended to view pregnancy, especially early pregnancy, as a disease state, and their only patient the mother.
They forgot that although premature babies are now considered human, 18th century English common law classified them as "monsters" with no right to an inheritance.
So we actually have come farther in recognising babies are people too? Jinkies.
Ok, maybe it's me, but what I do not understand is out of all the types of people in the world, babies are the easiest to love, get along with, cheapest, easist to transport and are really cute.I am missing something...
Although, today, they are not referred to as "monsters", people are allowed to kill them before they were born, when they are here, people spend a great deal of money and brain energy trying to find ways to get away from them. Then everything else caters to the recreation of teenagers. Ugh. Backwards...
Star Wars/Buffy con't
Number 9
Episode: 6.13As Warren (Adam Busch) pursues Katrina out of his room, Andrew (Tom Lenk) and Jonathan (Danny Strong) fight with plastic lightsabers. This scene might have been inspired by Joss Whedon's purchase of a lightsaber at the San Diego Comic-Con.

i>Evil is So Inconvenient
As her friends discuss what they will do after graduation, Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) complains that the trouble in Sunnydale keeps her from going away to college.
Buffy:"Faith's turn to the dark side of the Force has pretty much put the proverbial kibosh on any away-school plans for me."

Okay, this is real sick. Someone forwarded this link to me, apologised for sending it, but felt the need to share in the horror. Now I am going to do the same thing here. I'm Not Sorry.
I stopped being very active in the pro-life movement about 10 years ago. Not that I stopped being pro-life, but I stopped going to marches, life chains etc., mostly due to the birth of my first child. I also felt the need to hold back from debating.
It was around this time in my life that I had my first pro-life debate with someone that said "I know it's a baby, but infanticide for the good of the whole has always been practiced."
Ack! I about stopped debating after that. Heck, I almost stopped coming out of my house after that! How can you argue with logic when people refuse to see logic, or how can you argue that life is a precious gift, when people do not believe that either? Only their own lives.
