Impressive is all I have to say.
Whew! I'm worn out just reading about it!
SOUNDS FAMILIAR!!
Oh...and the spilling thing...I would CRY EVERY TIME...I hated it!! Stupid klutz that I am!
I second Tracy. You are amazing, Michelle! I hope you know how proud I am of you. It is hard work and tiring but so worth it. Praise God!
Wow Michelle I don't know how you do it all! I am amazed, super mom!
Yep I feel like a need a nap after reading that post. Just curious, where do you pump at school??? I think you are incredible, I can't imagine how hard it must be to juggle being a mom and working, I mean I do it, but I didn't until my kids were both in school. You are so dedicated pumping for him throughout the day, no wonder you are so stinkin tiny again!!!!!!! He is such a cutie pie, how is D.V.going?
Wow- girlie I always knew you were a rockstar but wow you are beyond talented to handle a week full of days like the one you described!
