Every time I read about poop boards I think of <i>The Egg and I</i> (the book, not the movie: the book is 900X funnier, although very much of its time in its attitudes to race and class) and Betty MacDonald describing her heavily pregnant self scraping dropping boards for the brooder house.

I'm running terribly late today, not because I watched the royal wedding (I don't much like real in person weddings where I know the people) but because I was contemplating the wisdom of taking a Vicodin last night and forgot to take my handful of "WARNING: May cause drowsiness" medications in the process, until about 1:30. Bad me! Bad, bad, very sleepy me.

Luckily nobody will be home until after eight tonight, and it will be dark then, so I'll get stuff done in the afternoon. I hope. If it doesn't rain.

I have read that book probably 100 times. I love it and have some old copies of it. How funny.

and my stepson lived, for a time, just off Egg and I Road .....

of course, Betty MacDonald did take a few literary liberties, in her books .... they are great, though

With my allergies I do not line dry, so I've no idea.

my chicks freeze and sometimes run for the coop, when the wind flaps the black plastic sheets that have come to light as I excavate and level where the run is going in

I will check them out on laundry, because the existing clothesline (double pulley type) runs right over where the corner of the new run will be

OK so it is time for me to get to bed. Been a long day since I got up at 1:00 am ish. But the night crew hasn't reported to duty yet whats a girl to do. I can't stick around but can't risk being fired for leaving my post unattended. Wait I AM VOLUNTEER you can't fire volunteers.

I'm so happy you got in to see a good doctor who took the time you needed to answer all your questions. I'm with you on amnio. DH did not want to know, so I never told him I had them done. I bet you feel a whole lot better now!

I really like a doctor who tells me what he's doing like he thinks I might be intelligent enough to understand. I hope there are no more difficulties from here on in.

I remember once when I was carrying my first son, the doctors listened to my stomach, and insisted that I have an ultrasound immediately. It turns out they heard this loud pulse and thought I might have an aneurysm. I was just hungry. I always get that loud pulse in my tummy when it is empty. If they'd just told me what was going on, I could have saved them the money for an ultrasound (and gotten my lunch that much sooner).
