wow...yes...those are the moments that i think about in bed at night when I should be sleeping.

Loved this: "I went back and got the same smoothie the next day, this time with both babies. Crossed the same intersection. Felt time surround me like a sort of god-like enterprise. Because that's what time is: an invisible government, every moment a newly elected president of presence. Seconds distinguish us from death, happiness, fear... The clock is always right and we are always against it. Every day, time hooks us up, pulls us back, guides us forward. Whether we insist on walking, driving, riding a unicycle along an electric line... We're all just a bunch of weirdos trying to get from one side of the street to the other, safely, or at the very least, more enlightened."

Reminds me of a poem I wrote. Not just about time in general, but a few lines.

So very sorry to hear about your friend.

been reading for a couple months...first comment though. found you randomly because I am expecting twins (my first babes) in a couple months, love your insight...even made me buy the Prophet from Amazon ;)

Just wanted to comment and say, your almost accident, the left turn, it's called a left cross and it is by far the most common accident where pedestrians and bikers get hit. I wasn't so lucky 2010 on my bike and got hit... I got off easy considering I broke the windshield, flew threw the air, totaled the bike, etc. Nut I am always wary of people turning left now... I imagine you will be too ;)

2012-01-21T21:02:25.576-08:00

First of all, I LOVE the pictures of you holding both girls - so beautiful!

Second, I accidentally went to girlsgonechild.com. Wow.

And... UGH. I hate those close call moments. They bug me for days too. But then I actually think that I am given those moments as a wake-up call. Maybe I just needed to be reminded that I'm alive. My kids are alive. We're all okay. Thank you.

2012-01-19T14:25:24.730-08:00

Cute, adorable blah blah blah... just want you to know that I adore your family all the way from ny but everytime I come to your page and see your new banner I think "oh it's winter and we're on the beach mehhhhhhh!" And the "mehhhh" is this really obnoxious sound that I can't spell almost like a creaky door. And I think it EVERY SINGLE TIME.

"We're all just a bunch of weirdos trying to get from one side of the street to the other, safely, or at the very least, more enlightened."

I love, love, love this. I'm glad you two made it safely across. I'm also completely taken with how much Rev looks like Fable. Maybe those are the two that will end up looking like TWINS!

Also, Hal's mom is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your world with ours. It matters.

"Math and working on my personal narrative." Bwahahaha. Archer is awesome! Totally made my day (although slightly ashamed that I then googled 'personal narrative' to know what he was talking about.)

2012-01-18T20:13:56.782-08:00

the same thing happened to me on my way home from a pto meeting when miss james was a wee baby. a crazy lady came barreling down the street as i was crossing. i was in a daze for days. hugs.

hal and his dad have the same damn head.

i'm gonna have to go to lacma & visit the metropolis exhibit when we come in march. sounds fab.

you guys rule.

2012-01-18T12:25:03.293-08:00

my daughter's cancer came back in October - she's seven (after 16 months of remission). Now we are in the fight of our lives. But we too try to "go forward with joy, hope, gratitude, courage and humor." It's all we can do - just try to get to the other side of the street without too much fuss. Anyway, this post hit a nerve and just wanted to say hello.

2012-01-18T12:04:53.378-08:00

Last night I dreamed you brought Fable and Archer to my house while your Mom watched Bo and Rev so that you could browse colleges for Archer. (???!???) I'm totally not a weirdo, by the way.
So glad you are still alive too!

Whoa. You went there. So good.

So glad that you and Revi made it across the street safely!

Love your post. Love that last picture of R&B. Love Rev's big ol' cheesy smile and BO's bluest eyes. These girls are GORGEOUS! X2 :)

Fable's makeup and smile = gorgeous
Archer's = my personal narrative = genius! <3

Sorry to hear about your friend's Cancer. To that I say "FU Cancer". I lost my mom in 2004 to Cancer...

Yesterday I read of two kids passing to cancer, and then got good news that a friends tumors are not growing. Ugh! Cancer!!

Holy Cow, you had be laughing hysterically from the first picture! Archer's "working on my personal narrative"...I'm stealing that line for sure! Glad you're safe and your eloquent description of almost dying was beautiful and Hal and his mom look amazingly alike. Revi's eyes are as big as platters...that is one girl who isn't going to let the world pass her by without noticing all it has to offer. Sweet post, thanks for sharing.

2012-01-17T21:15:37.189-08:00

would love the bang tutorial-- i've got a 3 month old and my hair has started jumping ship. it has happened with all 3 kids but i usually hide with a swoop pretending to be bangs.

first time on your blog, thanks for being so open with your thoughts and and your mom business.

2012-01-17T20:50:50.333-08:00

I love the Cleopatra eyes on Fable! Absolutely precious! My mother would occasionally put makeup on me when I was about Fable's age and they are some of my favorite pictures.

I hope your family friend can kick that cancer's butt!

2012-01-17T20:50:45.083-08:00

Oh my God, girl. I almost got hit crossing the street with my 3 year old son on the way to preschool. We live in SF, land of the 4 way stop. And in our 'hood, many of them get rolled right through, or forgotten completely. It's something that's bugged me since we moved to the 'hood 2 years ago. Also, such strange timing, b/c we were in the crosswalk that our preschool has been fighting to get repainted, and the city is being a bunch of douche nozzles about it. Yes, I sent a LONG angry letter. UGH so glad you and babe are safe, what a bunch of crap.

The scene with Archer and the cashier had me literally laughing out loud. This made my evening! Thanks.

2012-01-17T16:00:27.748-08:00

grrr. sorry it posted twice so i deleted the second one. (just so you don't think the deleted one contained all sorts of vitriolic nonsense and i passive aggressively deleted it.)
