They Like Me! They Really Do!

(Kudos to the first person to guess where the title came from.  No money, just kudos.)

I'm embarrassed to say that I'm just as bad at visiting my own blog (have you noticed?) as I am looking at blog stats.  But today, I just noticed referrals from two sites, one that I'm aware of, and one that's new:

40 Awesome Blogs for Midlife Moms

The Boomer Chronicles

I've never heard of the first site, because it is geared toward nursing, but I am certainly going back to explore the links.  I have the Boomer Chronicles on my own blog list, but it is more broad in scope, linking to and discussing all things boomer - which yes, includes moms like me, though that's really just one small facet of being a boomer.  Thought I'd share, because these blogs might be of interest to you too. 

I just love the fact that there are more and more midlife mom blogs.  I started writing because I didn't know any "older" moms (still don't, really), and I didn't have anyone that I was really close to who was going through infertility treatments.  Now, it seems as though I have a lot of company, and to that I say the more the merrier!

(Updated to add - I meant to say I'm happy to share my older mom status, not the infertility stuff, because well, that part really s*cks.)

Sally Field, Oscar acceptance speech. Right?

And good for you!

Yes!

Aw, read this too late to guess--but I'll add that it was her acceptance speech for "Places in the Heart," right?

I was thinking about you and your earlier post on discussing origins with your daughter when I read the Mother Lode entry linked below. Thought you might be interested; it's given me some things to think about (and I'd be happy to discuss this more by email). The blog entry itself is about children conceived via sperm donor, but a lot of it's applicable to egg donor situations, too, and there's some good stuff in the comments.
