I thought about respiratory therapy, too. But then I realized, I have a realy mucus phobia. Great, kid with CF and mucus, snot, boogers.... Makes my gag reflex take off.

Back to the what are you supposed to be doing... I'm supposed to be filing my boss' junk mail, but the preschool called and said Max had to run to the bathroom twice and said his butt hurt. They have a couple kids sick with the stomach flu, so zero tolerance this week, just in case. Better safe than sorry! He seems fine -- was most likely the 5 sugar cookies he scarfed down before be last night. He normally doesn't eat sweets, let alone that much, so I probably should've given him an extra enzyme instead of the normal 2 with snacks.

It is definitely a different solution for every family and you need to do what works best for you. Every family in this situation is a different puzzle with different solutions. Good luck with what ever you decide. You know the right path to take.

Well, I'm on the computer because Vinny is napping (I'll cry when he gets too old to nap!)

I should be on the treadmill, but instead I'm watching Oprah and checking up on all of you guys. Later I'll complain about how I still can't lose that last 15 lbs. post-pregnancy.

I am looking back now 25 years ago when my boys were young and reading what you are all going through now trying to run the household, juggle kids activities, etc.......that was me back then. How I wish I had those years back once again, to be on the go all the time, spending time with and enjoying each and every moment with my boys. I was fortunate enough to be able to stay home with my boys when they were young and when I was comfortable about going back to work I got a job which allowed me plenty of flexibility with my work hours and eventually worked night shift in order to be home during the day for when my son was sick or in the hospital. My son has since passed and my younger one is not so young any more so I sit here at my computer more and more (I guess I could be called an addict). Right now I should be doing some overdue housework but what the heck, it will still be there tomorrow.

I know that there are times when we feel so overburdened with everything and wish we had more time to ourselves but if there's just one piece of advice I might pass on and that's not to wish time away, you can never replace time.

What I should be doing??? I should be picking up my room, organizing my bills, and getting ready to send in my 7 new prescriptions to my mandated new pharmacy.. I think I am putting it off so much because writing a check for $500.oo for medicine I don't feel like doing doesn't appeal to me right now.. I have to do it sooner or later because I am due to start Tobi really, really soon... I keep avoiding it..


Also I should have mailed in my pass port papers and now I have to pay the extra fee for being a slacker and needing it faster then average..

I should also be taking a shower and getting ready for work tomorrow and for the weekend... making lunch.. packing nebs to do in between work and a party I am going to..

Hmm... I should be studying for an advanced class I am taking...Oh and come to think of it, I sound like I swallowed a whistle and I should probably think about doing a neb or two..

but instead I am reading posts with my feet up, drinking a new flavor Diet Coke...


OFF topic.. but PAC Mommy what does the PAC stand for?? I just took a cardiac class and every time I See PAC I think of Premature Atrial Contraction.. which is a heart disrhythmia... I know.. probably not the same thing..but it does show you where my mind is

off to go get something done.. maybe...
