Stuff to Read and Stuff to Do and...Stuff

Found via Mrs. Kennedy's Required Reading sidebar: the Hobo Nest by Mihow

Found sort-of roundabout via Plain Jane Mom's Go Read It Today sidebar: Already a Picky Eater by Boy Crazy

Hmm. Perhaps this entire blog should be a sidebar. Perhaps it already IS a sidebar on a bigger blog, like Earth could be a speck of dust on a bigger planet, and I just blew my own mind.

Or, perhaps it is just a little bit past my lunchtime.

After you're finished reading those links, if you are perhaps looking for something to write about today, Mrs. Flinger directed my attention to Blog for the Mother's Act Day. Which is...TODAY. The blogosphere has been responsible for a tremendous amount of support and awareness for postpartum mood disorders, as thousands of women have bravely written about it openly online. If you suffered from PPD or something similar, consider telling your story -- again or for the very first time -- today.

Here's Mrs. Flinger's entry.
And more information on the Mother's Act legislation.

Thank you for posting about it. I'm a huge advocate for telling people to speak up. It's so much better to be honest than, well, hide it all. Don'tyathink?

Thank you so much for sharing Blog for the MOTHERS Act with your readers. Women across the country are continuing to write about it and call their Senators today. As the author of the most widely-read blog in the U.S. on postpartum mood disorders, I can tell you I have heard from many sufferers who are so grateful to all the people who are speaking up and making calls. We just don't feel as alone thanks to all of you. Keep calling!!!!!

It's a very interesting point of view and items that I would like to know more as the interpersonal attitude is something that is not given much information.
