I am in my last year of my twenties, divorced mama (successfully co-parenting with her daddy) to the brilliant three-year-old (someone remind me to update this description in 2009, would you?) Sophia, and a skater for my local rollerderby league

I have been a member of SheKnows since 2004 when I was pregnant with Sophia and have been amazed by the friendships and connections I have formed here. Cheesy? Yes. Also very, very true.

I parent, I work, I skate (turn left).

I had a whole other post to write...

Oh, happy day! Freedom of speech is ******* glorious, no? *edited to add: when I published this, SK did not, in fact, let the word fcuk through...odd. How fcuking disappointing... memarq0 Roller Girl for Life

If She's Shocked By This, I'm A Little Worried About How She'll Deal With the Rest of the World Posted 01-11-2008 at 10:39 AM by memarq0 Every day, sometimes multiple times a day, Sophia asks me what today is (as in what day of the week). I tell her, and she usually answers, "Oh." Last night during dinner, we were having standard Mama-toddler conversation, and she asked me, "What day is today, Mama?" I answered, "It's Thursday." She got an absolutely stunned look on her face and asked in amazement, "Thursday again?!?!" memarq0 Roller Girl for Life
