   Poor Tall Kid. Poor Short Kid. And most emphatically, poor Mom. Here’s your :coffee:

   But I was reminded of #4’s reaction when he found out I was pregnant — at 41 — with #5. He was 7 at the time, and truly petrified *I* was gonna die, too.

   I didn’t.

   Lots of hugs from a safe 2000 miles away.

   I’m sorry to hear about your kids, Shannon. That’s just no fun–for any of you.

   I’m worried that Doritos may not do the trick, though. Instead, why not treat yourself my special DDD Soup and Sandwich Combo? It’s highly medicinal and strongly therapeutic. Here’s the recipe:

   Ingredients:
   2 Hershey bars
   1 jar of thick, premium chocolate fudge sauce
   1 Snickers bar, cut into 1/4-inch slices
   1 pkg. chocolate sprinkles
   1 cup hot cocoa
   1 bag M&Ms
   Whipped cream

   Sandwich: Spread bottoms of Hershey bars with ample dollops of fudge sauce. Layer Snickers slices on one Hershey bar and top with the other (fudge side against the Snickers). Carefully spread another layer on top of sandwich and then cover with half of the chocolate sprinkles.

   Soup: Pour steaming hot cocoa into a bowl. Sprinkle M&M’s on top. Garnish with a dollop of fudge sauce, a spritz of whipped cream, and the rest of the chocolate sprinkles.

   By the time you’ve finished this meal, Shannon, I guarantee your stress will vanish! :thumb:
   Well…either that or you’ll be too sick to care. :crazy:

   Oh good heavens. I’ll take 2! *slurp*

   Thanks, guys. The tall kid’s quiet today, but definitely on the mend. The short kid’s hamming it up because if his brother didn’t go to school, neither is he. (He doesn’t go until 12:30) So it’s

   My aaaaaaaarm! My arm hurts! Now it’s in my leeeeeeeeegs!

   :blah:

   What he doesn’t know is that I had no intention of dragging his brother out into the cold and into the truck anyway. And the short kid’s in a special needs preschool, too. While he’s there for his speech, other kids may have more going on, so we’re very careful about we bring to school.

   But. No. Dunkin. Donuts.
