Wordless Wednesday: Grandpa is SO much fun!

Loose Ends
Today has been a day feeling at loose ends.  I spent most of the day trying frantically to be able to go avoid going into work tomorrow.  I was late to pick up baby goat from daycare because of it (and traffic).   I'm worrying for a friend and for baby goat and his cold as it seems to have gotten worse (thankfully no fever, just snot and coughing).I should be packing, or finishing a few work things that I should attend to, or cleaning, or even finding something meaningful to do.  Instead I'm blogging (with very little substance) and listening at the monitor.  I'm glad when it is quiet because it means he's sleeping, but I'm also sort of glad when he

Defining Breastfeeding
Thanks to my friend Marketing Mama, I've been thinking a lot about breastfeeding today.  Her jumping off point was signage about nursing that used bottles.  (See her post here).  She expresses her point admirably and I'm not here to repeat the posts of others, but it did get me thinking about how we define breastfeeding in our society.My question:  Is breastfeeding defined by the location from which a baby drinks the food (ie breast or bottle) or by the type of food (breastmilk or formula)?I think breastfeeding is typically associated with whipping out a boob and feeding a child whenever needed.  And yet, the answer seems far more c

It has been a while since I've done some proper random thoughts so I thought I'd give you some true Lutheran Geek Random Thoughts.* Yes, I saw New Moon on Friday.  I saw it with a mom and her teen.  The teen had gone with her dad at midnight the day before and still went to school Friday.  Yes I thouroughly enjoyed myself.  Truth be told, the second movie was VASTLY better than the first one.  That and I think there is something utterly hilarious about sitting in a packed theater with girls (and fully grown women) gasping, hooting and cheering.  It was sort of the same thing as going to see the star trek movie and all the men started cheering. 

Quietness
I'm sneaking in under the wire here for the day without much to say.  Baby goat has a slight fever today and isn't feeling 100%.  Still we were able to get some naps in and play with Grandpa too.  I think he's doing ok for the night, at least so far.  Now, the laundry is done and put away and we are watching some SNL before bed.   Things are quiet and that is fine with me.  Goodnight blogland.
