Wild Man's best friend, Supadisco-T, is having tubes put in his ears this morning. I wanted to let him and his parents know that we're thinking about him today. Here's a clip from his favorite movie to let him know that Wild Man would love to help him recuperate today.
Teacher, mother, writer, wife, academic, friend. . . trying to juggle all the pieces without losing any.

Supadiscomama
Dear Supadiscomama,
I'm writing this to you because I know that you will tell me to shut up if I attempt to tell you any of these things in person. And frankly, I don't think I could get through this without dissolving into tears if I attempted to tell you in person.
I remember the first day we met, almost 5 years ago now. Your then boyfriend introduced us, and over lunch during orientation we chatted about grad school, life in Southwest College Town, and moving. I doubt either of us realized how close we would become and the life experiences we would share in the next five years.
I could go on and on the things we've done together (too many margaritas and cosmos to count; shopping for shoes and then baby clothes; wedding showers and baby showers; Sex and the City finales and premiers; disagreements and reconciliations; lots of gossip and even more laughs). I simply want to tell you that I will miss you more than words can express. I will miss everything about you, my dear friend, from your blunt way of putting things to the tender way you pick my son up to the way you inspire me to get to the gym. Most of all I will miss just talking to you.
As we have done so many times in our relationship I will rely on Sex and the City to say what I find I cannot say.
In Season 6, as Samantha is battling breast cancer, Carrie tells Petrovsky the following: "Samantha is my friend. She's my family. My insides. She will be fine because she has to be fine. That's how important she is to me." That is precisely how I feel about you.
Love,
M.

Ladies' Night Out
Last night, Supadiscomama and I had an impromptu Ladies' Night Out--well, it was impromptu in the sense that I called her at 11:00 yesterday morning and invited her to join me to attend a dance performance I really wanted to see. The performance was fun, although not quite what either of us expected. Afterward we had drinks--my first cocktail (I'm not counting wine!) since I got pregnant! It was so fun, and I've decided I need to do that more. Wild Man and C were completely fine without me, and rather than making me a little sad, that knowledge actually makes me feel empowered. I am so looking forward to my night out with my best friend and my sister during our Thanksgiving trip!
