Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

A new Canadian study has found that people who get hugs regularly are more likely to report better mental health. A warm embrace, in fact, had a more significant connection to an uplifting frame of mind than attending church regularly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Boo! I think I hugged my parents last night, though, so that's good.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Please please let me not be catching my husband's cold. PLEASE.

OMG, the only way that could be more 80s would be if they were holding Cabbage Patch Kids.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The 19th Duggar child arrived prematurely, weighing just over 1 pound. She's in the NICU but will apparently be fine.

I wonder if this will make them think about not having any more kids.

Or will this make them think, "Let's go for 20!"?

I wonder if this will make them think about not having any more kids.

Because it will probably up the number of people that watch the reality show, my cynical answer is: No.

My answer as a newish mother: I just hope that little girl is okay.

Now tagless for your comfort.

This reminds me that I'm currently awaiting word on whether my twin sister is pregnant. She's been trying for two years and had a miscarriage last year so I'm sort of hoping it's going to happen for her. Her PotS was positive but she has to go to the doctor to check her hcg levels since she has a history of miscarriage.
