Yes, I continue to think about how motherhood should be politcally social, engaged in our world. Of course I know this is easier said than done. Just carving out the time this morning to check a website, to blog about it is hard enough. There's the baby, who's nursing up a storm, so even though her babysitter is with her on Thursday mornings, I"m still on call. There's work, paid work, that claims my time. There's the nagging question of what to serve for dinner that doesn't require a visit to the co-op or grocery store (tuna sandwiches and salad, perhaps
And I'm not the easy-to-telephone type, especially after all the work calls are done, who wants to take precious time. I don't want to sound like a scold ("We should all be politically active"). Heavens, no.
I really don't want to add yet another thing to my day that can't be done, too. But I did find it easy to read the posting, and send an email. That, I can do. I can email while the baby nurses. I can even carry her to that she's facing over my shoulder and check email, and type a few lines, when needed (now that's modern motherhood, I'm waiting for the first how-to parenting books to come out that include sections on the best positions for holding your infant while emailing).
So, my musings. But this morning's time at the computer has ended. Now to grab a quick something for lunch before the baby wakes and its time to catch my older daughter at the school bus stop.
