• PAPERBACKWRITER said on Jan 17, 2008....

  Thank you all so much for giving me your time; I am always humbled by comments left behind.
  
  I would like to take this opportunity to apologise if I have in the past not replied to comments in my blog.  It has never been anything personal, only my lack of words in times of depression. 
  
  But I always strive to overcome this paralysis - and you all have all,  time and again helped me, if not by your presence here but by sharing slices of your life here in SC, which inspires and strengthen me in my struggles. 
  
  Thank you for always being there when I have yet again survived another bout of darkness which befell my soul in unexpected and unmeasurable times.

• PAPERBACKWRITER said on Jan 17, 2008....

  lalalalalala - thank you for the positive words - one can never have enough of them.  I think you have heard this more than enough though :D - I like your username ;  ), shows a strong sense of individuality.  I hope to get to know you more!
  
  husbandhater - thank you HH for your constant moral support,
  ; your generous spirit is admirable (I left you a comment on your latest blog . . .hope everything turns out well, and soon).  Yes, motherhood, and lots of major changes in life happened last year.  I hope to share them here, as time goes by.  And I hope this year - as I keep saying to longtime friends here in SC, we could re-connect!
  
  polarheart - I hope your the anniversary, and your birthday celebrations have been fun Polly! = XXX . . .

  Hi paperB, you my dear are very hard sometimes to track down and for this post I am grateful there is always lightness from darkness and the journey can be hard but you have such spirit that I never doubt you emerge every time looking more brilliant than any butterfly found.

  hey Paper.. congrats on the baby.  Mary Tate: welcome to planet earth.,  you were very brave to come!.    I get a wonderful feeling, just picturing you typing with one hand.  amazing what all can be done that way!!.  Is Mary Tate getting to be long enough to require two hands to hold ? 

  I have so many memories of this sort... the little foot that kicks the coffee cup..

  tiny fingers pulling hairs... and the lack of sleep... oooh... was worst with 3. 

  I am amazed you manage to get online at all, really.  cheers. and greetings.

  we have entered an almost thaw time: after deep deep cold (-20's/30's).. had to take the cardboard out of the radiator on the car today... was balking in the heat!.

• PAPERBACKWRITER said on Jan 29, 2008....

  
  Helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllo frontnack!!!
  
  Thanks for visiting = )))! Yes it is a challenging stage of motherhood, but such a blessing to have the chance to relive it again.
  
  My older daugthers, ages 8 and 5 reminds me that these stage - intense it might be and could test the mettle of the most balanced female, is in the end very sweet and short if you will view it as a seasoned mommy. 
  
  I have to say this over and over to myself like a mantra, after changing Mary Tate´s nappy for the umpteenth time or changing my barf soiled clothes for the hundreth time!
  
  I am glad it is not freezing on your spot of the world anymore! Bask on the warmth <3
  
  And I truly appreciate your dropping by and commenting. . .at this sweet stage, one could also be lonesome as a mom, if you would recall = / . . .
  
  THANK YOU FOR LIFTING ME UP , for your friendly words. . .it made this sleep deprive entity feel a LOT BETTER!
  
  Warmest regards,
  
  paper~
