My favorite quote: God couldn't be everywhere, so He made mothers.

It amazes me that women continue to celebrate something, that for most of them, happens by accident. It takes more than one parent to form a meaningful life, to build character in a human. One man, one woman, two men, two women cannot do that. They just want us to think they can and they do it very loudly.

Congratulations, you are a 2012 Debbie Downer finalist and odds-on favorite.

Next for cancellation:

1. Birthdays
2. "High school graduation"
3. Anniversarys
4. Xmas (hey, none of us personally had anything to do w/ a 2000yr old baby's birth...)

Well, you can go down that road if you like. I'm just saying we ought to celebrate accomplishment not accidents.

If you are not at least part terrified the instant you hold your child for the first time, you're BOTH in trouble...love is nice, but fear makes you more careful.
