Littering ... Yes or No?

For a long time, I kept a notebook in my car in which I would jot down the license plate number of the slobs who threw cigarette butts out of their car windows. I never did anything with that information, but it helped me deal with my anger. But when I see these disgusting vestiges of a filthy habit strewn about private property ... C'mon, have some respect for the people who have to clean up after you.

Assumptions and Dirty Diapers ...

When the baby comes into the school room with something resembling chocolate on her mouth, do not assume it to be chocolate ... just saying!

Snarky tone? Perhaps. I am extremely thankful to all the doctors and nurses who tended to Emma. But, the truth is, they did not want to. They wanted to let her just die. "Go to sleep, and when you wake in the morning she will be gone." But she wasn't. And, yes, it was expensive to have a baby in the NICU. Especially for seven months. But she survived. She is amazing, and intelligent, and thoughtful, and contemplative ... the adjectives abound. We love her dearly. And she is two - so watch out!
