Travel companion

Last week, I left the husband and Miss Alpha at home and ventured off to Seattle for a week of data collection. Riveting, eh?

Perhaps it was the length of the drive or perhaps it was the hormones, but I started to feel a bit lonely about eight hours into the voyage. That was when I consoled myself with the thought that I was taking Beta along with me. Even though (s)he was making me vomit. Motherhood is often juxtaposed like this however, so I took it as a cumulative "win."

Whao! Holly, this is Jenny Buck (Randy's wife) here. We've never met but I've heard lots of great things about you and hope to meet you some day... maybe at F&E this year! Congrats on your baby on the way. We're super excited for you!

You are so amazing to me. A trip to Seattle all by yourself? All you independent women, throw your hands around me.

Also, love the motherhood moment. So true: such poignant joy combined with the most excruciating of suffering.
