Meowmie - you are fine. We all are. I hope I didn't make you paranoid. So not my intention. #1, I was cranky that day. #2, I of course feel my kids are the smartest cutest buggers ever, but strangers don't tell me so, which they shouldn't, which leads me to #3 - It was seriously just the volume. I blog here and at Good Housekeeing and at BabyCenter. I am more than certain a few of my friends roll their eyes at me. One even told me, "Why do you need to let the world know everything about you? Are you that desperate for attention?" Hmmm. The truth is that yes, I am interested in validation like anyone who works, sings professionally or mothers. It's human nature. But I also know that if people didn't want to read me, they wouldn't. And let me tell you, MANY people have let me know what a piece of crap I am in their comments to me. It's part of the game and I don't really care because I know who I am. My final point - I just know that we all are doing the best we can. And I hope you won't change your style just because of some stranger, me, or anyone else's opinion. I don't even know if I'm right about the volume thing. It just bugs me. But who cares in the long run. What matters is your beautiful child who, I am most certain, really is the most incredible thing on the planet? Why, because she's yours. And that's all that matters. Thank you for reading me. I enjoy reading your stuff also. Ha! Meowmie – you are fine. We all are. I hope I didn’t make you paranoid.

Hmmm. The truth is that yes, I am interested in validation like anyone who works, sings professionally or mothers. It’s human nature. But I also know that if people didn’t want to read me, they wouldn’t. And let me tell you, MANY people have let me know what a piece of crap I am in their comments to me. It’s part of the game and I don’t really care because I know who I am.

My final point – I just know that we all are doing the best we can. And I hope you won’t change your style just because of some stranger, me, or anyone else’s opinion.
