The Potty Diaries: #TheTippingPoint & #Syria

#TheTippingPoint & #Syria

>> Thursday, 31 May 2012

Do you have blog? If you don't have a blog, do you tweet? Even if you do neither of these things, tomorrow is a chance for you to get involved in a collective protest about recent events in Syria.

Tomorrow (Friday 1st June) I - and many other bloggers - will be blogging and tweeting about Syria. In my case, it will be specifically about what happened in Houla last Friday. We will also be linking to and retweeting other people's posts and tweets, in an effort to raise awareness of the situation there and in the hope that in some small way we can add to the impetus to stop the killing.

We don't have the answer. And yes, our contribution will be only words. But if we don't try using words, then the alternatives - as featured in yesterday's Times - are just too horrific to contemplate.

Please join us.

After 5 1/2 years of blogging I have finally turned on the word verification thingammyjig. 3 months of deleting 50 + spam comments a day will do that to you. Please bear with the incredibly annoying word verification whilst I try to sort the problem and/or find a better solution; for now I would love it if you would still go to the trouble of commenting...

Potty Mummy

Moscow, Russia

Dictionary definition of Potty: 'somewhat silly or crazed, addlebrained'. I started this blog to share the benefit of my - admittedly limited - experience of potty training my two boys, and to show that whilst it can be hell, it also can be done. All things must pass though (thank goodness - my sons are now 8 and 6), and potty training for us has been consigned to history, so this has become more of a blog to stop me becoming potty than about the potty. And if you can understand my twisted logic, I hope you enjoy these extremely subjective anecdotes on being a stay-at-home mum transplanted to Moscow and still coming to terms with not also being a career woman. Really. You'd think I'd be over it by now; it's been 5 years since I last worked in an office - and went to the loo with the door shut - after all... You can also find me writing as Clare Taylor on Powder Room Graffiti and in the blog section of the Moscow Times on 'Diaries of a Moscow Mum'.

And be polite. The moment I put pen to paper or fingers to keys, all content, photos, or images on this blog (unless otherwise credited) are copyright me, me, me.
