I'm doing my best to keep that inner voice at bay... it's challenging, though, since I kind of like the inner voice, it keeps me company! @Ann Marie~ Yeah, it's funny, isn't it, how just when our bodies are *least* able to cope with junk food is just when we're most likely to indulge. Sigh. Your meatloaf and asparagus sounded great, by the way. @aimee~ Your "and stuff" reminded me of a client I had once in my old working days -- she had a verbal tic of saying "also too" all the time, pretty much in between every sentence. "Also too we need those reports. Also too our timeline has changed. Also too want some coffee? Also too with sugar?" It was *extremely* disconcerting -- and there's no way I'd take medical advice from someone like that! @Sire~ Yeah, I suppose, although I'm not sure it's such a "guy" thing in this case, so much as being the at-home parent... at least I choose to think so. I don't typically like "typical guy" things... Thanks, everyone, for your supportive comments... @Sue~ Glad you found me!

Thanks, everyone, for your supportive comments…

A lot of the time you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. Keeping mum, well I give you a 50/50 chance of getting it right. It’s hard being a guy.

Like... "we need to do surgery and stuff." (I promise, she is a *really* good doctor).

Adds to the exhaustion, doesn't it? Found you recently via Aimee at Greeblemonkey.
