BUT... here it is... those damn nose aspirators don't work for squat. so when my babies are sick and stuffed up, i've siphoned their noses myself. yes, with my own mouth. i know! it sounds gross. but, really. it's not to me. they're my children. they can't breath. can't get any relief. i can't stand to hear them gasping for air while nursing. can you imagine NOT being able to blow your own nose during the ENTIRE course of a wicked cold or flu??? i also rationalize this practice by siting the inevitable antibodies i produce as a result, thus passing them on to my helpless little babe. fine. i said it. just don't tell my husband you know. eileen. well…

Made a turn onto a main road and heard a click click click in the street. Looked in my side view mirror to see that sucker skid across 4 lanes and get crushed by oncoming traffic. sleep is over-rated. aw sweet. don’t feel too bad daph. i was famous for driving away with stuff on my car. best story? left the portable phone on the running board of my SUV.
