Fire Within
I now know I am consumed with yoga. I've spent the last hour trying to figure out some way I could go to my class tonight even though my SIL is coming for dinner. It isn't going to happen so instead I'm sick with my desire to go and thinking non-stop about what I'm missing. Sounds like a drug addiction.

AP Bust
Today I decided to try the AP Support Playgroup. My regular Friday morning "Rad Momma" playgroup has been fizzling out as things get wierder and wierder with the whole "woman's group/friendship circle" thing. Since the AP group was going to be meeting at the park up the street, I thought I'd try it. I've always been disappointed in AP playgroups in the past. Like online AP communities, I found that most of the women either pay lip service to the laundry list and define themselves as AP if they, say, use a sling and cloth diaper or are so strict about the entire laundry list that they leave little room for the nature of a child. Today's playgroup was neither... in fact, it wasn't. Only one person showed up. But, she had two children, my children's ages. The Son and her 4.5 year old son played and played and it was so amazing. They were imagining dinasours, houses, chases. The imagination of a 4.5 year old. A glorious thing.
Unfortunately, The Daughter has suddenly reverted in sleeping habits and has been up the past few nights. After a nice long period of great rest, I'm finding myself slammed back into sleep deprivation only more aware of the buttons it pushes for me. Please, God, Goddess, high power, have mercy and let her restfulness become the norm.
