Akeeyu is a must read every day for me.

She manages to make me laugh at infertility. And she also posts things like that link above, which makes me want to memorize it and also marry it.

Have you ever heard a more perfect sentence than: "People just don't fear large amounts of Stupid like they should."?

I have not.

Go read.

(Got tired of the farmery background and found this cute little fall-ish one. What do you think? I think I wish I could make cute backgrounds all by myself.)

Seems like I only check in on Vox when I'm doing my monthly Dora updates. Bad blogger. In the meantime, I missed a very important announcement over at still's place. (They're expecting a baby!)

This has been a big month for little Dora. She's sitting by herself, and she cut her two top teeth. She got her bottom two when she was only three and a half months old, so now she has four! She's doing this horrible grinding thing now that she has teeth that match up, and I'm really hoping she gets over that soon. It makes a sound akin to fingernails on a chalkboard, which makes my spine tingle. The good news is that we're giving her some table food, and she is LOVING it.

We had Dora Christened last Sunday, and all the family was in. I think 24 people ate lunch at the house that day! And my baby was beautiful in her gown, not to mention pretty good in church. That's the first time she's made it all the way through the sermon without going to the nursery

Tonight my younger brother-in-law's band (Pants Mandolin) is playing in Amarillo at the Golden Light. I'm really excited about going. I haven't been out in months. The momentous event that will accompany this is Dora's first night at Grandma and Coco's house. I know she will be fine, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to be zooming down there as soon as I wake up in the morning. Also, if you hear of someone getting arrested for pumping breastmilk in a bar parking lot in Amarillo tonight, don't worry, I'll find a good lawyer.

My four day a week schedule is AWESOME. The days are long, but I really love having the three day weekend. My stress level has come down considerably since starting this schedule. Now I have a day to run errands, a day to clean, and a day to actually take a freaking break and enjoy my daughter!

Both of my brother-in-laws have been at my house this week, and it's really been nice. The older BIL is helping Sean cut wheat, and the younger one has been keeping Dora during the day except when they need an extra hand in the field. He is SO GOOD with her, and she just loves him.  Whoever ends up parenting with him can thank me for the training! HA! The sad part about all this is that Sean has just had no time at all with Dora lately. When I left this morning the two of them were snuggled up together, though, so maybe he got some time with her this morrning. Such is the life of a farmer.

In other breaking news, I quit taking my pills the day Dora hit 6 months old, June 11. That's the earliest my doctor said it would be ok for my body to get pregnant again. Of course, with all the breastfeeding, I'm not even cycling yet. That's good, because I'm really not ready to dive back into this whole thing again. For a normal person, this would mean that I'm not ready to be pregnant and have another kid, which is pretty well true, however, the thing I'm really not ready to deal with again is infertility. Which is another post altogether.

I've been playing with the vox stuff for a little bit, and I kinda like it. I made my little bloggy background look like my husband's workplace, and added a tagline with minimal effort. I had a hard time figuring out how to make someone my friend (much like moving to a new school in jr. high) but that's the only thing I'm had trouble with so far. Oh wait, I lied, seems regular script for making links doesn't work here. Anyway, I like the customization possibilities, but am still undecided about whether to start bloggin' here. I mean, this would be THREE blogs for me, and really, aren't two enough for any girl? And how does one go about giving a blog up in order to create a new blog? Write a 'Dear Blog' letter?
