“You are a bundle of energy, always on the go.”
This fortune should have gone to the lil’ peanut, rather than the Baba, who is an Object At Rest Trying Valiantly, Against All Odds, To Stay At Rest. If I had a personalized license plate, it would read: I [heart] NRTIA. (Which [...]

It’s been such a busy week, what with Working for an Honest Buck, taking a croupy kid to the doctor, and trying to keep a hard-working mama in a prone position after she threw her back out. Not an easy task, let’s [...]

You’ll never know how much baby-generated dinner table detritus your dog is taking care of until she’s gone. Though you’ll probably know how much you love her before then.

    Lesbian Dad 101

    Hieroglyphics alert! LD recently made the jump to WordPress 2.5.1, with which came hieroglyphics (–) everywhere in the archival material. I've weeded a coupla dozen posts, and continue to do more when I have time, but please be patient 'til I git the mechanic to git the rest of it outta here. Shouldn't be too long.

    Lesbian Dad Lesbian Dad is written by a parent who answers to the name "Baba" and works toward a world in which amor does indeed vincit omnia.

    Still curious? You'll find a ton more on the About page. Baffled by the lingo? Peruse the Glossary. For the proper immersion experience, I highly recommend a visit to the Best of LD.

    • wyliekat commented on BlogStock, WoodHer, call it what you will saying “Back in 1996, it was going to be this brave new world where women were finally going to take control of their stories, and to me, it is often more a crushing sameness.” Well, jeebus. Welcome to life. No matter where you go, or what you're doing, that level of "crushing sameness" exists. Some of us
    • Mr Lady commented on Groom saying I am very sorry that you are going to have to suffer through what I can only imagine will be several weeks of comments that all say the same thing: You amaze me. I celebrate for your family today. Old married couples are the best ones, anyway.
    • Mr Lady commented on BlogStock, WoodHer, call it what you will saying I just am going to be all *swoony* and express, again, my gratitude for having found you. This is a phenomenal post. I imagine this whole blog is full of them. You are a treasure. (And I am not as creepy as this comes off, I promise. :)
    • carol commented on BlogStock, WoodHer, call it what you will saying Love your observations...one of the best recaps/overviews I've read. I so enjoyed meeting you. (I'm the one you "helped" in the hallway after the keynote with Heather and Stephanie...you can just call me "homey".) Looking forward to reading your site in the future.
    • Mocha commented on BlogStock, WoodHer, call it what you will saying You have touched on so very many important points here and I hate to dwindle it down to what hit me most but it's this: we're real people sharing stories. Simple! I'm glad I sidled up to talk to you with our children in tow. Even though there's a great deal of difference in their ages,
    • Lesbian Dad commented on BlogStock, WoodHer, call it what you will saying You are too kind. Now! [Cough choke!] A quick scan of their site shows that the Z1012 IS might be the one for you. Hold out for this one, baby! A price cannot be placed on your vision, but you certainly deserve their best.
