Right now I'm writing while waiting for Griffin to return from the midnight premiere of "The Simpsons Movie" when all I really want to do is sleep. The good news? I'm sure I "hear" him laughing miles away. Thank you for your view of motherhood with its blessings and inherent sleep/sanity deprivation. I can't wait to read your profound, soothing words again and share your "Burnt Chocolate" site with friends. Sweet dreams!
