Moira didn't go to soccer tonight. We had such a hectic weekend. We are all pretty pooped. She didn't seem upset about missing it. After dinner, we let the monsters roam around the back yard for about an hour. When I announced it was time to come in for baths, you would have thought I was about to throw out a beloved toy. The howls.. the screams.. the tears... They didn't work, of course, because I am :::radio announcer voice::: Super Mean Mommy! Muhahahahahaha! 5 minutes later, they were both stripped down and in the tub. They got to bed a little late tonight but we had a very nice night. They passed out right away! Hell - I am pooped. Maybe I will jump in the shower and go to bed too. Nah.

The cookie’s label had never listed peanut as an ingredient before, and it did not the night he died. But as Dr. Hugh Sampson, Chief Pediatric Allergist at Mount Sinai School of Medicine discovered, the World’s Greatest Chocolate Chip Cookie had been cross-contaminated with peanut butter (click the link to read more).

Did you ever get the feeling that you don't know WHAT the hell just happened? I am feeling that way right now ::shaking head:: Whatever

Ok - I re-edited the pictures. If anyone tried to look at them before, try them now. OH - GREAT news! My Dad is HOME YAY! Paul called me while I was at the baby shower and told me. I am so happy - now he can get some REAL rest. I will call him tomorrow sometime.
