Spreading the love, instead of germs.

I'm sick and holed up this weekend on the couch. I won't lie. Despite the fact that I felt like I was in labor this morning, it's kind of nice to have an excuse to lay around reading for hours and hours at a time. Just one of the demented facts of motherhood. It's so much better to be sick on the weekends, instead of during the week, when you're solely responsible for two energetic children... and also that you don't have to feel guilty about being still and staying home.


On the other hand...

Daddy just sent me the world's most adorable picture of what I'm missing out in the world.




Here are some wonderful and sad and fun and nice and terrible things I've come across, this weekend.


This mommy lost her baby. Reading this totally made me rethink everything.

Reading this blog always makes me feel good and also happy that somebody like Kimbirdy exists in the world.

This cute baby boy breaks my heart with his beautiful eyes.

Powerful piece about how we blame single mothers.

This is best thing I've read in forever, about something that happened at a funeral.


What about you? Send me your favorite links to read (either yours or someone else's), since I've vowed to do nothing but read and drink tea all weekend.
