Thanks, Ladies, for the wonderful community.I don't post here much anymore, just the occasional pithy comment, or three. Alas, even the tiny bit of time I do spend lurking around here appears to be too much. Work is stacking up on my desk; I'm really, really struggling to get my writing work done; I need to take advantage of the last, lovely days of summer weather; and now that Fall is practically upon us (oy! Fall? Already?) I expect to be even busier. So I'm going to sign off Hipmama, indefinitely, but first I wanted to say Thank You to all of you. I can only speak for myself, of course, when I say that I believe this community provides real refuge and intelligent dialogue and wonderful company for a lot of women who don't have much by way of a mama network IRL--through circumstance or geography or, in my case, their own crankiness (I can't STAND most of the mamas in my neighborhood. Seriously. Ugh. Wretched yuppies! But I digress.). Hipmama--cantankerous as it can be sometimes--has kept me sane, provided me with loving and humorous guidance as I try to wend my way through the bewildering cloister walk of mamahood, and, I daresay, even saved my life a time or two. Hell, just the fact that I no longer feel compelled to wrench my fingers into mock quotation marks when I refer to myself as "Mama" is a big step forward. DS is also grateful for this, I'm sure. I am so, so truly grateful to all of you. Take care, Ladies, and good luck to each and every one of you. Fight the good fight. Love, VP

I have enjoyed your voice
I have enjoyed your voice here.
I'll just have to search it out in person more often.
You are strong to give up the HM.

Love your wit & pithy comments, Virtuous Pagen!
I've considered signing off for good, but....here I am still. I admire a strong-willed woman who knows when she needs to call it quits.

awww....
awww...just when i started hanging around again. although i suppose i don't really feel too sad since i see you about once a week anyway. i'll call you when i get a sec, but if you see this first, i am totally up for more trade. i too am sadly behind on work. even weekend trade would work sometimes if you and dh both need time. i know with the late naps lately, afternoon time seems limited. well, i'll just have to see you more since i won't get to read your pithy comments here. definitely could use a mama night out.
I'm sorry to see you go but
I'm sorry to see you go but life keeps us moving. I hope you stop in and let us know how you are doing. Best of luck to you to mama. stay strong.
