My daughter has discovered the joy of bolting and laughs hysterically when I catch her and use the "I'm really mad and this is really serious" voice on her. I can still catch her, but at week 23, I'm looking ahead with just a teensy bit of concern. In other words, it's sooo not just you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-86431035188978262682008-01-21T15:50:00.000-05:002008-01-21T15:50:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.The City Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819377234772187931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-7526952213967840012008-01-21T10:24:00.000-05:002008-01-21T10:24:00.000-05:00HUGS.Hope today is a better day!HUGS.<BR/><BR/>Hope today is a better day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10327991964710241536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-68102900056150646292008-01-20T11:08:00.000-05:002008-01-20T11:08:00.000-05:00some advice for you--when it comes to containing t...some advice for you--when it comes to containing toddlers (or overly mobile children of any age, really), you simply cannot beat duct tape. the more heavy-duty, the better.Mitzi Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04924366481274530148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-403561796448628532008-01-20T10:28:00.000-05:002008-01-20T10:28:00.000-05:00MinnesotaMatron, yours is the nearest to my compre...MinnesotaMatron, yours is the nearest to my comprehension.

When you hallucinate you are completely aware that what you are seeing is 'false' - this is what most people believe you have the capability of when you're hormonal, to distance yourself from your feelings and be objective, whereas, it's more like being delusional, you're whacked out but you don't have the perspective to realise you're being loopy. Same with hormones, you know you're pregnant/PMS'ing, etc but that knowledge doesn't affect how you feel, you can't distance yourself from it, you really are feeling overwhelmed/weepy/stressed for no good reason!!AliBlahBlahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03335907266347761153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-56845231242783872992008-01-19T10:06:00.000-05:002008-01-19T10:06:00.000-05:00Oh, I remember those mood swings of pregnancy.

The delivery service could use an old ambulance and stock it with any chocolate imagined. YOu'd call a number and they'd be on their way. Chocolate ice cream or cheesecake? No problem! Truffles, candies or cookies? Sure thing! And if you needed to, there's be a massage chair there too in the back so you could sit in silence, sweet, sweet silence, all by yourself, eat your candy, and then order a big ole bag to hide for later.<BR/><BR/>Someone needs to get on that. But not me.
