My smallish ego is smiling right now (I know, I know - it's just one tiny win). I received a call late yesterday that my essay will be running on the presses tonight for Friday's paper. Ahhhhhhh. I didn't get a proof, so I'm anxious to see if there are any errors (I sent it in with none, but it was reset for the press). Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
On the "interesting shit" front, my hella cool artist friend SK and I have decided it would be fun to collaborate. We're scratching our heads to put together some form of painting and prose/poetry in hopes that some non-nose thumbing small gallery looking for one (1) solid artist and one (1) renegade/feral writer will have our crazy asses. Then, the plan is to seal the deal with publishing the lot of stuff in a smallish book (on a print-on-demand deal most likely). The battle before us now is rounding out a theme and then the age-old chicken/egg question. Artwork then writing or vice versa? And being that I'm type A, this is the annoying, oh-the-hell-with-it-all question.
That being said, we've got some themes in the development stage. I'm curious, though. What theme/idea sticks out in your mind as interesting to view from the perspective of 2 mom creative-types? BRAINSTORM WITH US! First things that pop into your head. WRITE IN THE COMMENTS (please)!

Oh my GOD do I suck at this.
OK, the first thing that popped into my mind when you said two MOMS was some kind of nighttime theme. I always think of the moms getting up in the night with kids, and how lonely that is, and how the only other people up at that time are OTHER MOMS.
I like tessie's idea of the nighttime theme. my head just drew a total blank so . . . I've got nothing for you
i guess the times for me with O that are most "poetic" are the times when we're outside just the two of us and I'm watching him experience something new. but those things are usually at night too since we like to go out and see the world before we go to bed
I like Tessie's idea too.
The first thing that popped into my mind was not losing "the woman" when you transitioned to "the mom".
Wow these creative people.....I like the nighttime thing, but in that I loved being with my babies, alone, at night in the dark--just the two of us as if we were the only people in the world.
Thanks for chiiming in, girls! It's awesome that you mentioned nighttime, since SK and I were talking about how we are night people. Damn muse likes to keep me up at odd hours. Also, lorid, the whole transition thing. We've been hashing that one out - how we feel like we're getting back to who we were, or are supposed to be. I"m getting a good vibe here. Sweet! Thanks again, and if you have any more thoughts, I'd love to hear them...
I would love for you to write about the funny side of motherhood. I am not sure how you could incorporate that with paintings...
You have such a way of telling stories that you could write about the screw-ups, the ups and downs. Which, looking back, I have a good laugh over some of the stupid shit I have done. There is my thoughts.
Yes undoubtedly, in some moments I can bruit about that I acquiesce in with you, but you may be making allowance for other options.
