I didn't want to say "obsessive"

[sjepearson03]

I hope Darcey isn't offended by my use of the word, "militant" She says she was obsessive with Christian and she was. But I didn't want to use the word "obsessive".

I love you Darcey. Thanks for giving me the book, "The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding" and for letting me borrow your copy b/c I can't find mine. : )

No, I can handle the truth. Especially if it gets you one of those prizes. Of course, then I'll be jealous, and may hold it against you that I don't get to take part in the winnings that I helped you get! BTW, I don't look down on those who don't breastfeed. I was bottle fed, and I bonded with my mama just fine.

I know you don't look down on those who don't breastfeed. The judges first look at how helpful the story is to new moms so I wrote with that in mind. So many new moms think they have everything all figured out and they must stick to their guns, when really, they would stress a lot less if they just sat back and tried different things.

Which one?

I think it is good! Which service will you choose? I would be torn between Personal Chef and Housecleaning.

You can go out to eat and someone else cooks for you. But to pay someone to clean your house is really expensive. I'd go for that for sure.
