The family. We are a little band of characters trudging through life, sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all together.

Supermom
Who is Supermom today? I am Supermom today. Seriously...let me gloat just for a second. While Adam, my dad, and Patrick played with tractors and horses today at my dad's friend's house, I was stuck at home...for hours...by myself. In the amount of time they were gone, I managed to complete my annotated bibliography due for tomorrow, my drug cards due for next week, and about half of the drug dosage calculation problems that I wanted to accomplish. I also managed to run 30 miles on my elliptical and refresh my memory on effective antiprotozoal medications. I feel pretty good about myself tonight. So what if I never took a shower, brushed my teeth, or got out of my pajamas? Or if I ate only cereal and sugar-free pudding? We get to do it all again tomorrow, except I'll probably perform some basic hygeine before then.
