1. I have A LOT of work and it’s all due right this second or tomorrow. I’m going to be slaving away all day. No blog time.
2. Someone I know in the blogosphere knows (in person) the brilliant young woman who wrote this brilliant essay and she and I both want to encourage you all to read it if you haven’t, although you probably have.
3. You know what’s really boring for a kid? Dialysis. You know what makes dialysis easier? Video games and television-watching! No guilt there — there really isn’t much else to do while you’re hooked up to a machine acting as your kidneys. Problem is lots of hospitals have a few broken games and a handful of outdated shows. You and your kids can help and Julia tells you how.

About Me
I have two kids and a delightfully odd husband, Brett. My children are Noah (born to us in 1997) and Madison (born to her first mom, Pennie, in 2004 and brought to our family through a domestic, open adoption). They are my inspiration and also the reason I don't get more done around here.
I'm a writer and sometimes I get published, which is a nice thing. I write for joy, I write for money and when I'm very lucky, both things happen at the same time. My work appears in national publications including Yoga Journal, Disney's Family.com, Utne, Wondertime, Brain Child and Salon. Currently I am working on a book about my daughter's adoption and seeking representation for the proposal. I also own Smart Cookie Communications with my husband.

http://www.childsplaycharity.org/ is another great way to get games for kids in hospitals. You can look at wishlists from hospitals from all over and send them games directly from Amazon.
