I am more paranoid and worrisome than you are (and yes, I'm one-upping you...because I am quite sure that there is no one else in this world who worries about cancer more than I do!)To add fuel to the fire...I have just recently found out that I am pregnant. Though I am happy as can be...I am more filled with worry about the doctor visits and ultimately, the health of this peanut inside me. I read Waiting for Birdy cover to cover....write another as I can not live on Wondertime columns alone......<BR/><BR/>ps..the pic is perfectsarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02793981392410015804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-28446767237750641812007-04-19T10:38:00.000-04:002007-04-19T10:38:00.000-04:00What a uber-fabulously fierce and passionate girl!...What a uber-fabulously fierce and passionate girl!

While reading your column about sick Birdy and her high temperatures, my mind intertwined the two stories and I got all panicky. Then I realized that, hmm, Birdy <I>probably</I> doesn't have malaria, and will probably be fine. I felt much better - if a bit foolish.

You frame the experiences of being a mom in such a way that it makes me feel better about my own mothering. It makes me see my relationship with my daughters in a whole different way, and I love it. God, reading back over this makes me worry you're going to think I'm saying I feel like I'm a better mom than you, please don't think I'm saying that. I'm on no sleep and perhaps doing a bad job of expressing myself but I really wanted to thank you for your wonderful writing.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362169118816222361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-86927750658031825122007-04-17T20:56:00.000-04:002007-04-17T20:56:00.000-04:00When does the wild rumpus start?

There's an angry lizard in my bed!" and "Hey, Scooby, what you doin' on the ceiling?" Usually I find that my presence turns the scary hallucination into a pleasant one (i.e. Lizard to Scooby) - kind of like being a "guide" for a three-and-a-half-year-old on acid, but it still freaks me out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-64528778525973518852007-04-17T13:10:00.000-04:002007-04-17T13:10:00.000-04:00Thank you, Caped Growly Girl King.

There's been a lot of illness, grief and pain in the lives of my family and loved ones lately, and prayers are just about all I'm capable of. I'm happy to add Birdy to the list, even though you all are "only" loved ones I know through the computer - love you all I do.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490694024529550949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-31036230164211620642007-04-17T12:19:00.000-04:002007-04-17T12:19:00.000-04:00I hate the sickness.

Apparently, I didn't really have the much faith in our previous ped, cause I always felt so anxious, even after they diagnosed. Now, not really so much.

Your co...oooh do I really get to be first today??!! Your column about Birdy being sick was really touching. My little Ben recently had 104 fever for 4 days and I bravely resisted calling the doctor because I didn't want to be the panicky mom and there had been a virus going around school. Finally we took him and of course, it was not the 'daycare' virus, it was bacterial and he was hours away from pnuemonia. And then I felt like the worst mother on the planet...BensMom04https://www.blogger.com/profile/01889895364784362307noreply@blogger.com
