The toughest job of all...

Parenting.


Don't tell my kids, but I'm highly underqualified.


I spent the last few days in the hospital with this little heartbreaker:



She's had trouble with asthma ever since her bout (and 10 day god-awful hospitalization) with RSV at 3 months old. Well, she scared her mamas something awful on the weekend when her seemingly innocuous cold suddenly left her gasping for breath (quite literally). But some steroids and a little supplemental oxygen later, she's back at home and on the mend.


I don't think I've experienced anything quite as stressful as having my kids hospitalized.


I'd like to take a 10 hour nap now.


Instead, I'll be watching Alice breathe.
