Strong Medicine

What an impressive site. I visited My Strong Medicine, a blog of a nursing professional, among other things. I love his post titled, “Hi, I’m the nurse. We’ve never met.” Read it. I applaud his style and enthusiasm. Thank you for posting this.

Blasted

Those blasted kids. I usually don’t complain about my kids, but lately – I can’t help it. We’re supposed to be an eternal family…but lately, I can’t tell. Cute Liam…he’s so cute. Cuddly. Then there’s Lauren, sweet and squooshy. She’s always so kind hearted. So sweet and soft. Such a good friend.
