I had a day yesterday. Today, so far, has been blissfully uneventful for me, and good for Sister #1 and DH (who both got job offers).

So here are some calm, uneventful vibes ~~~~~ for everyone.

surgery-ma for your mom, Mg.

I have achieved Aidan, and when I went to check on Kara, she burst into tears at seeing me (It was lunch time. She cries every day at lunch time) but also has a fever and green snot, so I added on extra Karaness. Nick's friend, Jesse, was very sweet. He was over here in 5 minutes, took me to the school, waited patiently while I gathered children and talked to teachers, brought us home, and then he and Nick went and picked up 7-up for the baby people, who have now been dosed with anti-snot medicine, anti-fever medicine, and some 7-up flavored with juice. Aidan is sleeping and Kara is chattering away at me, seeming to be just fine now that she's home. Whew.

Of course, the work I intended to do today languishes undone. It may continue to languish for a bit.

Much surgery~ma for Maidengurl's mom.

Glad the babies have been achieved, Deena. {{{}}} for you all.

---

Surgery~ma to your mom, Maidengurl.

I hope the babies are all better soon, Deena.

---

Poor Deena babies and poor Deena. May everything get done with a minimum of fuss.

~ma for Maidengurl's mom and Gris' GF, too.

Alsoo, Calli, YAY!!!! That's great news about your mother.

---

Thanks for all the "Yays!" folks. It's great to be able to share the good news.

Lots of healthma for Maidgurl's mom, Gris' GF, and Aidan

Poor Deenababies!

Cindy, I think you made the right call in telling S even though he was at work, but I'd feel worse if I wasn't told right away, so that could be me projecting.

Calli, great news! I'm so happy for you and your family!

Susan, the guy who writes Defective Yeti's son (who is about Annabel's age, IIRC) was just diagnosed with an ASD, and he has a long post on it here: [link]

If she does have one, it's probably mild--she acts like a fairly normal kid, just not an especially talkative one.

Definitely talk to the doctor. I think you're right to have her tested. This has been a long time, and you are genuinely concerned...and that is valid. But, honestly? I think autism is pretty unlikely, from what I've seen of Annabel.

I'm with bug on this. You are honestly concerned and bringing a well thought out list to her 18 month check up seems like the best choice for all of you.

Unlike last week, though, this decision was made so I can better be effective in lab, rather than me being in crisis.

Good life choices... And though I have a giggle in my fingers typing that, I really mean it.

Listed here are the 10 common cognitive distortions.

I marked this post. Because there are more times than not that I fall into a few of them.

{{{Juliana}}} You are both doing a brave and wise thing.

Oh Cindy, I am so sorry for you and Scott. Personally, I would want to know. I agree that death is an ass-chapper though.

And now that she's officially in remission (typing that never gets old)

I think you should type it and say it as often as possible. Wonderful to read too.

Deena, I am glad that you have achieved babies. Some feeling better~ma is winging it's way toward you.

Gris, I hope the gf is feeling better too. Let us know?

---

Also, Juliana, I hope tonight goes well, and that it's the start of a huge breakthrough for you and Z.
