Associate Producer Jack debuted in his first episode today at 4:29PM, weighing 7lbs even. I pushed him out with no pain meds - though by the end I was screaming for an epidural but it was too late. Jack was already on his way out. I have never experienced pain like that in my entire life. I can’t even believe I survived and I’m not being dramatic. Thank you all for the prayers and comments, I’ve read each of them and they carried me through. We can talk all about it in our next editorial board meeting. For now, Im gonna try to get some sleep (well, after some ice cream.) We did it!
Lily wins the prize for best bed head today. In truth, she didn’t wake up like this, she was outside playing and caught a lizard. Somehow it ended up in her hair. We call this a Florida mullet.
Our neighbor made the kids a bird feeder. It’s manatee-art since we live in the “world capitol of the manatee”. Instead of hanging it for wild birds, we decided to use it for our favorite birds. A tad unconventional but great entertainment. Don’t overlook the glass of water Lily put out for the hens so they wouldn’t have to leave the table to go drink out of a bucket, which is clearly uncivilized.
Those of us who live in the country mostly prefer to avoid people, especially naked strangers. That’s for city folk. So you can imagine my surprise today upon seeing a man who resembled the form of a shaven Santa, completely nude in the gym sauna. He was changing out of his bathing suit and seemed rather shocked to see another person. He told me, “I didn’t think anyone else would be here!” I said, “Well it’s a gym.” Yes it is a country gym but this isn’t a red heat lamp in someone’s cow pasture. Long story short: keep your Christmas packages wrapped up this holiday season.
