A park regular is quoted as saying,” "I can't tell you how many guys I've had here who were wearing wedding bands, with baby seats in the car and all kinds of kids' toys on the floor. It's on their way home and they don't have to get involved in a relationship or any gay lifestyle or social circles. They don't even have to buy anyone a drink or be seen in a gay bar. They just tell the wife, 'Honey, I'll be home an hour late tonight.' " I’m sure every city has its own cruising spots, and similar gatherings. Because this is a blog on women’s issues, I thought y’all might be interested in reading the article. Here’s the link: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/21/nyregion/21cruise.html" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/21/nyregion/21cruise.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/21/nyregion/21cruise.html</a></a> Read it while it’s still free. I think they start charging for it once the article is a week old.

We compensated by keeping him up until 11 p.m. or so, hoping he would sleep in until noon-ish. Sometimes it even worked. : ) John Sage stopped taking naps at around 3 months, except for very, very occasionally.

So I thought I'd leave it as a comment. Here it is (feel free to remove it from this post, I won't be hurt). Hi, Angela. I was flattered to see me listed on your site as someone you would like to see at Blogher (sp?) next year. Wow, I didn't expect that, thanks! I hope you don't mind, I added you to my list. I really need to reorganize and make a moms of multiples category. When????? I did try the tylenol, and it seemed to be hit or miss at whether it worked. She actually has done well with me waiting out her cries. When I don't go running in her room, turns out she only cries for less than a minute. I think she's one of those babies that fusses in her light sleep stage and when I hurry into her room, it actually wakes her and disturbs her more. She's actually been sleeping better and later since I stopped picking her up every time she cries. Also, she has not yet woken-up my boy (knock on wood). I am looking forward to more sleep in the future... Kat Angela, I tried to email you, but it bounced back. So I thought I’d leave it as a comment.

Hi, Angela.

I was flattered to see me listed on your site as someone you would like
to see at Blogher (sp?) next year. Wow, I didn’t expect that, thanks!

I hope you don’t mind, I added you to my list. I really need to
reorganize and make a moms of multiples category. When?????

I did try the tylenol, and it seemed to be hit or miss at whether it
worked. She actually has done well with me waiting out her cries. When
I don’t go running in her room, turns out she only cries for less than
a minute. I think she’s one of those babies that fusses in her light
sleep stage and when I hurry into her room, it actually wakes her and
disturbs her more. She’s actually been sleeping better and later since I
stopped picking her up every time she cries. Also, she has not yet
woken-up my boy (knock on wood). I am looking forward to more sleep in
the future…

So it's a bit sad. Re naps: when they start school they get so exhausted at first that they need a nap again, only they can’t. So it’s a bit sad.

Heh-heh... Actually, I have a Costco card, thanks to my mom wanting one. At least they are blue and they carry good rechargable batteries. I used to buy film there. I didn't want them in my town, though. I was happy to buy my film and batteries online. My keyboard doesn't smell like hot dogs.

Parker stopped napping on the weekends a couple of months back. We'd put him in his crib and listen to him up there talking or singing to himself for an hour or more, then we'd finaly go and get him. We've given up on afternoon naps during the weekend, but he still takes them at daycare. That's probably becaues everyone else is takign one so he figures he'd better go along. Tell me about it!
