My high school valedictorian sang that as her speech at graduation, which was pretty damn boss.

My son is the same way (also 4). He's also a picky eater so while we provide food, he usually refuses it. We used to be able to make up the difference with hot dogs, but this summer he's decided he doesn't like hot dogs any more. Or hamburgers. So now I can't even count on summer cookouts beefing him up.

I was a vista back in the day, and I'm wondering if these six people even did this in official capacity or as volunteers on their own time? We were encouraged to volunteer all over the place outside of our official positions and I'm sure it was the same for this americorps branch.

And yet, when I had a missed miscarriage, they gave me drugs to flush it out and when that didn’t work, they scheduled a D&C to remove it (didn’t come to that, luckily). And in the medical paperwork they refer to miscarriage as “abortion” anyway. So they can easily perform them.

My state doesn't have any :-(

I’ve been there with my first kid. Didn’t sleep through the night until 11.5 months, then suddenly cry it out worked. Now, as a 4 year old with a new little brother, he sleeps like the dead. You’ll get through this, whatever it takes.
