(OK&#8230; I could put on my Moby wrap but I haven&#8217;t had a chance.)<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t been to church in at least a month so I&#8217;m not having any really decent faith revelations.  I honestly wanted to see my baby more than I wanted to deal with people and to make it to two care times, I had to skip the 11:00 service at Church #2.  I prayed a lot on the way down and I listened to religious podcasts but I broke the Sabbath.  (OK&#8230; sort of.  I caught a midweek service some of the time before my month-long drought.)<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t been out much since Daniel came home because we&#8217;ve had to quarantine him due to his compromised immune system.  (Preemies have crappy immune systems.  Ask me how I know this.)  I&#8217;m home most of the time.  I watch a lot of news when I can&#8217;t sleep and I&#8217;ve kept up on the outside world that way.  Otherwise, it&#8217;s been a lot of getting out to make trips to the dump or to do things like get prescriptions.<\/p>\n<p>My life does revolve around Daniel right now.  I keep a separate blog for his stuff (located <a href=\"http:\/\/daniel.peacefulwaters.org\">here<\/a>) because I&#8217;d rather keep this blog about me and not post that OMG-HE-HELD-HIS-HEAD-UP-TODAY!!!!!!  Mommy-blogging can get annoying and I&#8217;m respecting that some of my audience doesn&#8217;t really want to know the minutae of Daniel&#8217;s bowel habits or motor skills.  By the same token, it was good to have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caringbridge.org\/visit\/danieljameskm\">the Caringbridge site<\/a> so I&#8217;ve got Daniel&#8217;s blog up for people who want to keep tabs on him that way.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of world events, I have been following the elections in Iran and my Twitter icon is green to show support for Mousavi.  I think Ahmadinejad is on crack for thinking that the US sparked the protests and that Mousavi&#8217;s popularity was a plot by Obama but he&#8217;s always been a little daft when it comes to factual things&#8230; much like our last administration and Fox News.  (Yes, I had to throw that in.)  I actually care more about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2009\/WORLD\/meast\/06\/26\/hakakian.neda\/index.html\">Neda&#8217;s death<\/a> than I do Michael Jackson&#8217;s death.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; that&#8217;s my world right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been lax about blogging lately because I haven&#8217;t had enough brain cells to do it, or (like right now) I&#8217;m typing one-handed because I have the big-eyed boy in my arms.
