Is Breastfeeding Creepy?

How Sterile Sex Leads to Sterile Bottles

The Latest Issue

from the House of Tissue

As I write this, the hum of the jet nebulizer fills the front room. One boy is tied to the couch, doing yet another breathing treatment before going to bed. There are coughs and snifs and slow moving bodies all around.

Last night was filled with the start of breathing treatments, which continued all throughout today. Two boys were home sick, with coughs and glassy eyes. Many movies were watched, many puzzles were assembled. Now we head off to bed with itchy noses and scratchy throats. I’m hoping tonight’s soup did something for our health—and if nothing else, it soothed our souls (that would be Cheese and Veggie Soup for the Testosterhome Soul).

I noticed lots of other sickies as I cruised the Internet (Arwen, I am especially praying for you and your fever!). If you are ailing, I hope you feel well soon. Lay as low as you can and drink lots of liquids!
