I'm not anti-social, just clueless

As much as this could be a typical In Depth Julie-style topic...it's not. It's about Friends in NaBloPoMo. I don't know how to invite any. So...I'm sorry. A few of you wonderful (and I use few literally) folk have extended invitations to me, but sadly...I don't know how to send friend invitations to so many of you participating that I'd like to add as friends.

Invite me? Tell me how? Many thanks!

Also, I created a group called INTJs Blogging. Anyone is welcome to join, any INTJs, INTJ fans, or INTJ wannabes. ;) (Hopefully that link works!)

Tomorrow (Friday) is the official launch of the Blog Pledges...the list of bloggers for you to check out. So check in!

Darn. I'm an INTP. I missed by one letter.

My husband is an INTJ. Generally impossible know-it-all types. :oP

Jozet. Dude. You can join, INTJ fans welcome. :)

As for the rest of that comment? Amen sistah, ain't it the truth and don't I know it LOL.

But then again, you are related to NANCY ESHELMAN...maybe you have no need of the little people. :)

I'm just so afraid I wouldn't be able to commit to posting every day. That is...not without writing some really crappy stuff.

Oooh! Looking forward to the Blog Pledges links. And I don't know how to add folks as friends, either :-)

Truthfully, I have no idea how to invite. I looked around but that page load is too intense for me. :)

Restaurant Trauma in Texas: How eating out prompted a really uncomfortable lesson about culture

WARNING: This is NOT a family-friendly post, aka the warning I WISH I'd gotten yesterday before I walked in. Yesterday was a Holiday. I hope you heard the scare quotes around that. Yeah, when you are an adult here is how holidays work: you, same workload as always, kids WOO HOO NO SCHOOL FREEDOM. Do the equation. The result is the day I had yesterday. If math isn't your strong suit I'm pretty sure you can still add that up but just in case let's say the highlight of the afternoon included me dumping out the mismatched sock basket and telling the children to have at it, in a way very reminiscent of Miss Hannigan of Annie . Anyway luckily I've taught my kids that Chores are Fun! and they had a good time. Later, I cranked up the fun-o-meter on a bank errand by dropping in the Halloween store to check out costumes, and upped the ante on "Mom needs new running shoes" by tacking on a "Hey let's eat out at a restaurant!" My husband was able to join ...

First it was cocktails and now it's marijuana?

Oh wouldn't Meredith Vieira love to get her graspy judgmental paws on this one: " I'm a Better Mother When Stoned ," by LJ Wilson (pseudonym) currently up at Babble (along with caveat that Babble doesn't endorse alcohol or illegal drug use while parenting). The only problem is I'm afraid I might end up nodding along with her as she rasps out a smug and self-righteous snarky comment that slams all parents who toke a dubie while parenting. Wilson writes I've been a weekend pot smoker since I was about eighteen. As a new mother, I continued the indulgence, but only when I was out and my son had a babysitter. I swore I'd never be stoned around my kid. And that plan worked for two and a half years, right up until one morning when my toddler waged a concerted campaign to fray each of my nerves. Wow. My first moment of disbelief was that it took two and a half years for her child to fray her nerves . That's some laid back well-behaved kid! Or some laid ...

Enough with the Mary Poppins Parenting, All Right?

Note: this post begins with "recently" but it was recent then not now. Then was around March 2012. At some point, someone for some reason reported this post and the platform pulled it down. However, the concept is evergreen so I am republishing it! ________________________________________________________________________________ Recently on Facebook, a friend disgustedly posted another "how French parents are better" article (this one cruelly about how French kids have less ADHD and it's because the French parents are BETTER -- or so it read to a lot of parents dealing with this situation in their own families, and boy do I understand that POV). She was appalled, we were all mainly appalled. Though there was a slight thread of "maybe there's a point here...how can we have so much more?" running through it. Feeling insecure about your parenting is pretty de rigeur for parents, I think. We are raising a person who will go out into the world, rep...
