There are days where I’d like to put Laura on a sail boat without any deck hands and have it cast off without any real destination in mind.
But yesterday wasn’t one of those days. After Laura and I got back from taping a segment out of town we both boarded a 82ft sailboat with deck hands (Yes!) and everyone in the office enjoyed a nice afternoon sail instead of being stuck in the office. (Thanks Wynne!)
I sat barefoot as we watched tourists go by who refused to wave when we waved at them. Nasty rude buggers! Between trying to rescue Laura and Molly from their “King of the World” experience and watching their passion for hor doeuvres and bubbly it was quite the unique experience.
Thankfully Elizabeth was my sane buddy who didn’t make me include her when I checked to see if my insurance covered crazy nautical antics.

“Not guilty by reason of insanity.”
Of course she was insane. No sane person would drown their five children.
She has to live with what she did for the rest of her life. That’s still life in prison as far as I see it.
It’s so sad reading what happened. And sad that no one could see this mother just felt so depressed she started having episodes which led to the tragic events in her bathroom.
It’s so very easy to judge someone for doing something like this and much easier to judge someone for talking publicly about their experiences and criticize them for taking prescribed medication.
And I just can’t do that. I’m a mother and while I didn’t have psychotic experiences after having my children, many mothers are unfortunate enough to have severe depression and post partum psychosis. Now that Andrea is back to her senses and has realized what she has done, I hope someone is watching over her so she doesn’t do anything crazy to herself.

Remember those days where you could pick up and just go on vacation because school was out and you didn’t have a job? Natalie left this morning at the brand new age of 3 years and one day old… and embarked on a 2 1/2 week vacation. Island hopping. I could cry.
I wanna go!!!!
Yes, that’s me whining because I haven’t had a vacation of any type in well… about three years. So Nats away living the high life while her mom dreams of being able to vaca at the end of November when November sweeps is over. *Still crossing my fingers I get that weekend away*
<sigh
Back to work. I have preschool to pay for.
