MILP #53: In her own words III: IHOW Ultimatum

Welcome to the Weekly MILP (Moms In the Legal Profession) Roundup. It is hosted on a rotating basis between PT-LawMom, A New Duck, and A Little Fish in Law School blogs. We originally rounded up just the moms in law school, but then discovered they eventually graduate. So now all the moms in the legal field are represented.We aim for Sunday posts.

Next week, it'll be back at PT-LawMom's place.


This week's theme: The In Her Own Words Ultimatum*

On Babies:

I’m thinking solid foods can wait until she’s a teenager. One New Duck

I thought that rice cereal was supposed to cause the baby to produce less poop. Peanut Butter Burrito

Babies don't use toilet paper! Starting to Melt

It's the baby equivalent of the Emergi-vet. Tranny Head

Be kind to your web-footed friends, For a duck may be somebody's mother... Magic Cookie

On Blogging:

I’m at the point where it would be easy-peasy for anyone I attend class with to figure out who I am. Pt Lawmom

On Lawyering, Working, and Parenting:

I want to feel like my work makes a difference, not just gets me a paycheck. Proto Attorney

Ah, preparing for the Bar, it is so glamorous. Lag Liv

The first thing we’re moving into the place is a FAIRY? Zuska

Seriously--what kind of lawyer starts crying in a deposition? Legally Certifiable

* Wherein I pull quotes from MILP blogs, hopefully out of context in a way that makes you want to click, and call that a theme. Yep, shamefully lazy. Told you this theme would repeat, again.

And like the movie, there is a distinct lack of ultimatums .

MILP #52

One New Duck has posted the new round-up.

The theme is as funny as a fart in church.

(Yes, I found the cliche finder!)

Next week, back here.

MILP #51

It's up at Pt-Lawmom. Click here.

Next week, at A New Duck. Then back here.

MILP #50: The Songs of Summer Edition

Welcome to the Weekly MILP (Moms In the Legal Profession) Roundup. It is hosted on a rotating basis between PT-LawMom, A New Duck, and A Little Fish in Law School blogs. We originally rounded up just the moms in law school, but then discovered they eventually graduate. So now all the moms in the legal field are represented.

We aim for Sunday posts. Next week, it'll be back at PT-LawMom's place.

This week, it is summertime, but that doesn't mean the living is always easy:*

"Hot Hot Hot," Buster Poindexter -- Andrea at PeanutButter Burrito and Zuska are just that hot.
"My humps"** Fergie/Black Eyed Peas. Lawyermama. One word: MOOBS!
"Groovin'," the Young Rascals -- Law school mom with a flexible work schedule
"I Can See Clearly Now," Johnny Nash. One New Duck. (You and Duckling are gonna make it.)
"Let's Go Crazy," Prince. Legally Certifiable. Let's get cats!
"Locomotion," Little Eva. GoogieBaba. A story that, when read with this soundtrack, is even funnier.
"Born To Run," Bruce Springsteen -- Lawmummy finds that when a week like that ends, its best to leave it there.
"Margaritaville," Jimmy Buffett. Pt-Lawmom. Don't drink and drug.
"Saturday in the Park," Chicago. Lag Liv (It's Chicago . . . get it?)
"School's Out," Alice Cooper. Magic Cookie but CM is still learning.
"Summertime," DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince -- Yaya Rolly says being a Lawmom = bar study break.
"One Week," Barenaked Ladies. Shelley is one week into her new job.

Gratuitous Baby Shots and snippets of cuteness:

"Boys of Summer," Don Henley -- ALB, Landon, Sumo, Clownfish
"Brown-Eyed Girl," Van Morrison -- Becca. (Technically, I don't know her eye color. Maybe I should have gone with California Girls?)

Footnotes and other things:

* The list of summer songs themselves were suggested by google searches of summer songs. I regret I couldn't work in all the great songs I found. Maybe I'll do Summer Songs II later this season.

** Although I prefer the plaintive Alannis Morissette's parodic version of "My Humps". . . here on youtube. (Stick it out at least to "what ya gonna do with all that junk. . . ." It's awesome.)

MILP Roundup #49

Round Up #49 is here.

Announcing the arrival of the first ONE NEW DUCK Roundup. And she went all literary.

Back here next week.

(Moms in the Legal Profession, Moms in the Legal Field, Moms in Law School. . . . whatever you call us, we're awesome.)

MILP Round-up #48

Not a typo. MILP. Moms in the Legal Profession.

Its up at PtLawmom's.

NEWS:

The Round-up is pleased to announce we've found a third blogger -- A New Duck has agreed to join us. Woo hoo!

Next week, the MILP Roundup will be hosted by New Duck.

As explained by Pt-Lawmom:

As you can see from the name change, the MILS Roundup is now the MILP Roundup. It was hard enough to not include Zuska, Certifiable, LawMummy, Shelley and others over the past year. The idea of losing Lag Liv, New Duck, Andrea, [CM, Tranny Head] etc., to graduation was too hard to bear. Fortunately New Duck has offered to be a third blogger and we have decided to change the name to Moms in the Legal Profession roundup.

This is presuming these folks will blog beyond law school -- many give it up. But so long as they're out there, fighting for work-life balance while dealing with lawyer hair and spit up and tween drama, we'll round 'em up.

MILS #47: School's out for summer!

Welcome to the Weekly MILS (Moms In Law School) Roundup. It is hosted on a rotating basis between PT-LawMom and A Little Fish in Law School blogs. We aim for Sunday posts. Next week, it'll be back at PT-LawMom's place. I think. I'll keep you posted.

Stay tuned for an announcement following the round-up.

So how are the MILS taking on summer?

Still in classes -- damn quarter system. Lag Liv
Taking classes. Pt-Lawmom
Finishing up. Law school mom

Yacking One New Duck.
No really, yacking 3L Wannabe.

Easing into it Dakota.
Co-parenting Proto-attorney
Selling books Tranny Head
Casing astrobitch Starting to Melt.

Thinking about the Bar. Magic Cookie
Beginning the bar prep Peanut Butter Burrito

Rounding up the year and coming out of retirement. Saramel

MILS ROUND-UP ANNOUNCEMENT:

Possible changes coming to the MILS Round-up. We might finally have found our third blogger. More to come on that next week, we expect. And we're thinking of expanding beyond MILS to Moms in the Legal Profession (Would that make us MILPs? We also considered Moms in the Legal Field, but I'm not sure everyone is comfortable with the connotations).

Why? Well, it hurt a lot to drop Zuska and mommy lawyers from the round-up post-bar last year, though I coundn't resist including the occasional post. And now about half the blogroll is graduating. We'll still probably highlight the law students separately somehow.

So stay tuned.

Welcome to the Weekly MILS (Moms In Law School) Roundup. It is hosted on a rotating basis between PT-LawMom and A Little Fish in Law School blogs. We aim for Sunday posts. Next week, it'll be back at PT-LawMom's place.

Sometimes we focus so much on the Mom part and less on the In Law School part.
This round-up seeks to restore the balance.

So this is law school:

Mutual antipathy with law school. Starting to Melt
Exams exhaust. Pt Lawmom
Last law school class, ever. Peanut Butter Burrito
Flashcards. Magic Cookie

Something has to give. One New Duck
Another day in the life. Lag Liv

Back here next week.

MILS #41: Elton John Song Edition

Welcome to the Weekly MILS (Moms In Law School) Roundup. It is hosted on a rotating basis between PT-LawMom and A Little Fish in Law School blogs. We aim for Sunday posts. Next week, it'll be back at PT-LawMom's place.

So I am making an effort to do themes again. I picked some of the songs because the title alone seemed to fit the post, though occasionally, the sentiment of the song itself worked too.

Elton John Songs:

I'm still standing -- (kicked while down and still strong). One New Duck

Simple Life -- (bread & cheese?). Lag Liv

Can you feel the love? -- (Mama!). Law Student Hot Mama

Come down in time -- (young bloggers look at 50). Magic Cookie & Peanut Butter Burrito

I don't wanna go on with you like that -- (this doctrine is such a tease). Starting to Melt

The cage -- (apparently, no escaping Tax). Pt Lawmom.

Hakuna matata -- (we all feel that way sometimes, no worries) 2L Wannabe

The Paging Dr. House Edition:

The offending nipple. One New Duck.

Just one more thing to add to the medical file. Lag Liv.

Hands off. Law Student Hot Mama.

No, really, hands off. Starting to Melt.

MILS #38, the Moms in Law School Round Up is at Pt-Lawmom's.

Here next Sunday.

MILS 37: In Her Own Words II: Electric Bugaloo

Welcome to the Weekly MILS (Moms In Law School) Roundup. It is hosted on a rotating basis between PT-LawMom and A Little Fish in Law School blogs. We aim for Sunday posts, though I am posting a bit early this week. Next week, it'll be back at PT-LawMom's place.

The theme this week: In Her Own Words II: Electric Bugaloo*

2L Wannabe I think this is how law school kills the soul, this lack of positive feedback.
One New Duck Is it just me or does she look like a very angry banana?
Dakota also got our new addition to the family -- a furry family member!
Law School Mom I choose my own path, which also means I do law school my way. Not the way "they" say I ought to.
Lag Liv Each quarter I sink to a new level of finals unpreparedness.
Law Student Hot Mama There's never enough room for houseguests. Even if I live at the Biltmore.
Magic Cookie My measure of a really close friend is when you can invite yourself over and then poke through their fridge without asking.
Merits of the Case I was nervous, however, about trying to explain why I didn’t have any legal employment last summer and I was nervous about disclosing my blog and my Google presence.
Googiebaba Really, I should have accomplished a lot, but I haven’t.
Peanut Butter Burrito I wonder who I'll be seeing on the news first, and I hope it's something good.
Pt-Lawmom. Addressing the issue of attending law school part-time with young children.
Cee, Starting to Melt. I decided that I could not afford to let people like her become bruises in my life.


* Wherein I pull quotes from MILS blogs, hopefully out of context in a way that makes you want to click, and call that a theme. Yep, shamefully lazy. Told you this theme would repeat.

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!!
