I had to bury one of my daughters last week and that is something that no parent should ever have to do. I still can't believe it. Don't ever let your children go skydiving. Lots of people do it and don't get hurt, so she said. It only takes one bad landing to change that. Now her two little girls don't have a Mother.

I said that I had so few brain cells left, that I had to choose carefully how I used them. I don't think I've ever been overly antsy about my kids, except when the first spawn turned 13 and became a royal PITA.<BR/><BRFeisty Irish Wenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689381839029507940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732255176396931795.post-60710845687374138982008-11-12T20:49:00.000-05:002008-11-12T20:49:00.000-05:00Oh my goodness!

My daughter broke her arm she either she jumped, fell or was pushed off the couch. It took me over 3 hours to decide to take her to the ER. They then told me it is rare for a 3 year old to break a bone and almost sent me home.
