I didn't medically investigate why...just kept trying and figured things would work out in the long run...now that my son is grown...oh well. Anyway, I got a lot of crap from people who thought I was keeping him an only child on purpose. I even got a stinging lecture once in a fabric store by a complete stranger! One woman "kindly" gave me a verbal list of all the families she'd known in which the only child had died. Too bad people don't know when to keep their mouths shut...unfortunately, these aren't the ones who would read your helpful hints.

I too am raising a son, being a wife, active with church, love to scrapbook, love to read, and I am very close to my family. Uncanny. Anyway, I have been thinking about your year of books and I think I may steal your idea for my 30th year, which starts in almost a month. (That is if you don't mind) I am attending school f/t so my list may not be quite as long as yours but it is still a good goal.momofonefornowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024643244161544858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-19920487070483217682008-06-23T14:46:00.000-04:002008-06-23T14:46:00.000-04:00Thanks for visiting my blog.

Not just read stuff online, but curl up on the sofa for at least 15 minutes and pick up a book. So thank you for writing!Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-21996528036388245252008-06-23T12:48:00.000-04:002008-06-23T12:48:00.000-04:00I have not experienced the infertility trenches fi...I have not experienced the infertility trenches firsthand but I have a motto for anyone that does not think before they speak, "you can't fix stupid". Seems to fit the situation quite often actually.<BR/><BR/>And a comment on the folks that say that they do not have time to read.. I totally agree with you! If it is a priority, then they will make the time for it.

I have not experienced the infertility trenches firsthand so I've been rather shocked with the number of mean and spiteful comments that so many women (and I suppose their husbands as well - but mostly it seems aimed towards the women) have to endure. I've also been reading a fair amount of hurtful comments regarding weight, but that I'm more used to seeing in my daily life. NCLM has been very enlightening and I've found a number of new "regular" blogs (such as your own - who knew there would be blogs devoted just to reading!).<BR/><BR/>As for the reading comments, I feel you. I come from a family of readers and writers and we have heard them all--including people who claim they have a great idea for a book if they just had time to write it (as if that's all it takes to write). <BR/><BR/>I, for one, am glad you make both reading and posting about your reading a priority in your busy world.Brigindohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05499279435958916161noreply@blogger.com
