Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 4:30PM Is there a "motherhood club"? Do all mothers have some kind of connection with one another, or does being a mother not necessarily mean you have anything in common with the other mothers of the world?
Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 6:20PM I am walking home from daycare with my daughter and I am wondering, "What's that feeling?" "... that intense pounding, that rush, that I'm feeling in my chest, in my bloodstream?" "Oh," I realize. "That's love." It is so intense, this feeling, that sometimes I can't contain it. Sometimes I think it will rush out of me like teenagers at a party when the police show up -- and it can feel just as awkward as this, as gangly and pimply and dumb and joyous, high on wine coolers and being felt up, as out of control, as unprepared, as fresh and urgent and important and confusing and intense.
