Comments for curlykew http://curlykew.com A twisted tale of a rural suburban mother of almost-growns Tue, 01 May 2012 13:13:30 -0400 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 Comment on It’s Gonna Be May by curlykew http://curlykew.com/family/its-gonna-be-may/comment-page-1#comment-464 curlykew Tue, 01 May 2012 13:13:30 +0000 http://curlykew.com/?p=395#comment-464 Thank you, Teresa. My son's a snuggler too and even though my head now rests in the crook of his neck rather than the other way around, it always amazes me that no matter how old or big they get - they still "fit" right where they're supposed to. Snuggles with my kids feel like home in ways that no one else can compete. And happy birthday to your baby. :) Thank you, Teresa.

It's like you crawled into my mind and wrote my exact feelings. Yesterday after work I napped on our sofa in front of the tv. Rachel came and laid on top of me. Full body contact. It was the sweetest feeling to hold my baby like that. Holding her like I did when she was little, knowing that she's almost an adult... Thanks for sharing. xoxox Heidi- You are a brilliant writer.

I teach, really moderate, a bible class at the rehabilitation center my husband and I oversee. Last night's class was definitely a chili dump. It was about to get a bit spicy but we were able to cool things off. Thing is, they're memorable. Thanks for your post. I found the same thing re: Bin Laden's death from several of my FB friends.

Can't we just communicate, interject, play, discuss, disagree and dissect without all of the hatred? Without all of the name calling? Without all of the side taking? Whatever happened to adults acting like adults?

I see you put your day off to good use. How well I remember the chili dump. And you're correct, that was the best chili we had ever eaten. I loved the analogy; you hit the nail on the head. Problem is, some folks never see themselves as a part of the "other side." Wow! I see you put your day off to good use. How well I remember the chili dump.

What's <em>really</em> baffling me (not firing me up, btw...just decided to speak up once a good analogy hit me last night) is that much of this is coming from people I always thought were more middle ground, open minded, reasonable...not the fringes. People who would happily add amazing awesomeness to the chili dump b/c they normally play well with others.

You know I totally agree with you, but now I'm curious as to which comments got you so fired up. Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention. Maybe I've already withdrawn from the chili dump because I didn't want to listen to everyone. Now WE have to have dinner :) Oh - and Robert is the chili maker in our house :) Hmmmmm.
