You do not have to talk me out of this." I laughed - I can hear your humor. :)<br /><br />I love you, Tiff!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100470502295354362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4227564875500209626.post-50827642380003189732014-11-17T08:14:14.642-08:002014-11-17T08:14:14.642-08:00Thanks, Katie.

It seems like an almost impossible life to me. How does this leave time or energy to be excellent spouses and parents? It seems to me that you are doing the most excellent job that you can. <br /><br />And screw the Gottmans. I'm sick of them too.<br /><br />-KatieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4227564875500209626.post-60391721896287859062014-11-15T18:13:02.463-08:002014-11-15T18:13:02.463-08:00Thank you, Jennifer.

I will never understand. Thank you for the support (and the news that I bring joy into the world). Perhaps Cady and Vivian will become therapists, and they can do tradesies. ;-)Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02654222301622926920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4227564875500209626.post-6680112052154620712014-11-15T11:37:05.072-08:002014-11-15T11:37:05.072-08:00I wrote a long, supportive comment that was eaten....I wrote a long, supportive comment that was eaten. Boo. Basically, though, I wanted to remind you how much joy you bring into the world, and that that also needs to be part of your accounting. I wish I had answers for the stresses, but I don't. I do understand and sympathize, though. Our daughters can perhaps get a two-for-one deal on future therapy, where they recount "how my mom stressed me out." xo. Also, what did Bill do now? ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829089563990675253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4227564875500209626.post-27566497983355406672014-11-15T09:21:44.030-08:002014-11-15T09:21:44.030-08:00Hey!
