Nothing screams Spring Break like taking two toddlers to the hospital to get Grandma Nancy's cast sawed off. (Look closely where Stink's fingers are and you'll see the inscription from Grandma Stella.)

Once Stink's juicebox was done, and he had negotiated his position as "the button pusher on the elevator going down but not going up unless someone else presses it by accident and that's a different story" he became concerned about Grandma's wrist. Would she have to have the cast put back on?

Pipsqueak, who somehow morphed from a toddler to a pirate once the carrot sticks kicked in, had summed it up with her expression (followed by mine) below.

Glad to know Grandma Nancy's wrist is healing and only a brace was required to finish the job. Now if only Grandma Stella's neck would follow suit. Blog to come on that one.

Thanks also for all of you who wished me well on my last day at BabyCenter. Onto the new!

More of my writing can be found daily at BabyCenter (but not after today because I suck apparently)  and Good Housekeeping.

You DON'T suck.

I tried to leave a comment at BC, I really did, but the EFF and A words kept slipping out (as in, why the EFF did those A holes fire you?) and I decided to leave well enough alone.

And the last picture almost made me inhale my Diet Coke. Mommy and her Mini-Me!

Wow, mirror image!
You don't suck. At all.
I could say more, but let's keep things polite.

Leave it to you to make going to the hospital look like fun. You have a knack for making us smile even through the rough stuff.

Somehow the song "I'm not bitter" is ringing thru my head. :) You don't suck.

Your kids and your brokendown grammas are lucky to have you.

Love Pip's arm art. Did she tattoo those flowers on herself, or did she have an accomplice? Glad to see you don't scare your kids about "ink poisoning," whatever THAT is. And if she's going to sport that adorable pirate face, she of course needs some body art to go with it.

Now go do something fun this Spring break that doesn't involve sharp medical intruments and exposing yourself to mrsa (though riding up and down a hospital elevator with kiddos is always an adventure).

Looks like you all had a 'make the most of it' day- which means despite feeling like you suck, you're exactly my favorite kind of parent. Cast coming off? Have some fun! Take some pictures!

Of all the writers over at Momfo, you were the most likely to get a good, juicy dialogue going (intentional or not)! You don't suck, they suck....and they are dum-dums....and they are stinky....and the economy sucks, and layoffs suck.....but you ROCK. Seriously, how many other people can make a great picture story blog out of going to the hospital???

Great Pictures!!! Love the one of you and Pip....It's amazing how getting a cast off turns into an "adventure" when kids are involved.

You don't suck - you are moving on to bigger and better things!!!

You DO NOT suck, but then, you should know that :-) What does suck is some of the dialog going on over there, but that's a whole other ball o' wax.

Your kids are so cute, and I love Pip's tat! You going to take her for her first real ink (after she's 18, of course!)?

Hope all the grandmas are ok!

If you read your BC comments you would KNOW you don't suck! People adore you...save those comments for a rainy day when you really need them.

Love ya...I'll be back to check in :-)

Of all the people in the world that SUCK ASS, and believe me, I know (and am related to) a few of them, you ain't on that list.

You and Pip could be twins. Erm, seperated by a few year, and a medical miracle but twins.

You suck? No way. Did you blow them a "kiss" on your way out the virtual door?

What a little clone you've got there! And the expression on Stink's face? Priceless!
