Dawn Breaks
Just a typical morning; my son is naked and using a stuffed shark to attack my wife, who is barely sentient and either completely baked or still more than half asleep while my daughter does her "drunken hootchie mama" imitation.
Sometimes I sit and wonder...what the fuck do normal families do?
ARE there any?
I have no idea.

Hello, Sadie
This month the China IA picture is kinda good news-bad news
The bad news is that CCAA did only THREE freaking DAYS of LIDs this month.
Three.
Days.
Threefreakingdays!!!
Well.
Damn.
It's this kind of stuff that makes me want to put my drill sergeant hat back on and lock up the pencil pushers in Beijing for some corrective training.
In particular, we have been thinking of a certain person we know, logged in on our same old 1/10/06 date, and were hurting for her when last month's referrals fell ONE DAY SHORT.
So. The GOOD news is that one of the three days referred in April belonged to her, this terrific redheaded now-soon-to-be-supermommy, whose little girl Sadie Amelia is right now going to bed in Hunan Province unaware that she has this fantastic mommy waiting for and loving her right here in Portland. So we're thinking of her, and her mommy, and feeling good that their famiy has finally happened.
Congratulations, Mommy and Sadie! 十一千年!! Ten thousand years!!

Crouching Toddler, Hidden Mommy
I'm not going to link to her. Her blog is password protected, anyway, and she enjoys her privacy.
She also enjoys canoeing, archaeology, the desert, rehabs injured birdlife and is the whipper-in of a troop of backyard hounds, could throw a mean elbow and is all-around a pretty outstanding person.
But until this week, she hasn't been able to be the one thing she'd like most. And now she is.
Yesterday, in an all time short-turnaround (14 days!!) LOI-to-LOA workup, she can now put the official "Mama" in "Atomic Mama".
Congratulations to you, AM, and your esposo intimado, and especially to your brand-new little man, your bold little warrior with his banana-sword.
Congratulations.
In the words of my dear Mojo, we're so happy for you we could bite ourselves.
