wow! if i ask, you answer

What an amazing bunch of women (i'm pretty much convinced there's no men out there...hello? hello?) you are. Really, i mean that.

Such thoughtful and thought provoking comments today. Why do we blog?

I think the resounding answer is "because we can." I think part of that answer is that you're brave enough or crazy enough to do it. No matter how many people are reading your slice of the pie you are always opening yourself up for hurtful comments. But really, those are so few and far between.

I think the friendship, support and sense of belonging that the community brings are what most people hang on to, what keeps us posting when there's not much to say or when there's too much to say.

We are sick with some weird cold/flu virus. I bought (finally) one of those digital ear thermometers the other day and i have been running around checking all the fevers and spreading all the wax. Tristan has been hardest hit holding steady at 102-103 since last night. Parker and Eliza are okay, i'm hoping they stay that way as i don't want to end the longest winter ever in the hospital.

I keep trying to type something interesting and i come up with nothing but crappy snotty sneezes. So, i will say goodnight and hopefully be back fresher and clearer tomorrow.

Thanks for all the comments!
