A few random notes...
I saw Moira with baby Brody while Christian ran around with Joe playing with a lawnmower... I am now wondering how much of that nurturing attitude is nature, and how much is nurture - I mean, she's only 3 1/2... is it nature? Is it the times she's been given baby dolls by people? On the reports they'd send home weekly from school, they'd usually say "Moira loved playing with the dolls and dress up." And then there's Christian, who loves trucks - he's only two. Is it possible that these two children have already been steered into the standard one for our society?
Cross your fingers, we may have a buyer for the house.
I got the van cleaned out today - woohoo! - and in the heat out here, that's no small feat. Now I just have to unload everything that's in the back of the van that doesn't need to be. (Quite a bit.)
Tomorrow is the orientation for Moira's school; I can't wait to see who her new teacher is, and where her classroom is - evidently Martha rearranged the school somewhat. I know she's been running Kaye ragged, I'm hoping that once school has actually started it won't be quite as crazy for her.
I'm going to now go see if I can find the episode of Good Eats that talks about potroasts; he evidently doesn't use crock pots and it doesn't take all day. This kinda blows my idea of throwing stuff in a crockpot in the morning and dinner's ready at dinnertime - not that I still can't do that, of course.
Okay, back to work (on all the little things around here)

I think that to a pretty large extent gender roles are part of the nature side of things. No matter how much we try to deny it the male and female are demonstrably different on a biological level. It is absurd to ignore this fact. What is also absurd is to cliam that one gender or the other is inherently superior. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, but neither is better in a general way than the other.
