Oh my, sounds like your a mother! Good luck with the teething, Jack has his two year molars coming in and he is up all night. Take care

Ah, the word “completed” is a lovely thing in a list

I’ve been wondering what with the house remodeling and the mothering and the writing and everything else, how you find time to post at all. So throw in job-hunting on top of that…
Here’s hoping all of those numbers add up to a position that feels spectacularly right. Good luck.

Glad everyone is OK. Was it dh that got hurt or you? And dude, only three hours in the ER sounds like a cake walk. I’ve never spent less than five!

Emergency room? Yikes! Hope everything’s okay.

Only 2 black-hole hours at home depot? Sending energy your way for the rest of it, you obviously need it!!
April 23rd, 2006 @ 4:33 pm
whew.
I look forward to hearing it all.

Two hours in the ER? Beats our current average 5.5 hours! ….the babies: your family? Other patients? Or what happened to warrant the visit?
I’m glad you are coping and I’ll check back later to read all about it. Hugs!

I’m glad you called in the reinforcements. (Grandmas are the best.) Sending you lots of good thoughts on the job hunt and so glad everything’s okay after a trip to the ER!

I was wondering where you’d got to. Then I see, in the hospital like we were! These children … never a dull moment.
Glad everything is ok at your end.

3 hours in the emergency room isn’t bad considering and it’s great that 2 babies were born while there; I think that’s always good luck. I hope there weren’t stitches or broken bones but I’m glad to hear that all is alright.
