Now that I have Robin McGeHee’s face & speech at the MITM4E rally burned on the inside of my retinas, I feel like there’s yet one more (or rather at least three more) reasons we can’t get this whole civil equality battle done fast enough. She deserves to have the peace & quiet with her family, and I get the sneaking suspicion she’s not going to stop ’til the civil equality, to paraphrase ML King, “rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”

Meanwhile, it seems like even if a great many of us are multitasking parenthood and winning civil recognition for our families, our kids are doing juuuuust fine. At Mombian today: “Kids of Lesbians Less Likely to Have Mental Illness.” Very nice to hear that.

Recently, my Beau and I made a promise to each other to pull back and pay more attention to daily wonders, even though the lawyer-filled mania continues apace. That means she went off for an hour before dinner yesterday to practice soccer with Owen and I sat with Seth to make Spanish study sheets so he can rock his Spanish final. We probably would have done those things, anyway, but this time we really paid attention instead of feeling like we were taking energy away from the main event. The boys are the main event. Period.

Hang in there and good luck!
