Wanna test someone's endurance? Subject them to
extreme sleep deprivation with an endless audio loop of a crying baby. As a parent that has gone through the sleep deprivation and crying, you
are tested, but you are also really truly awakened to the fact that this little critter is so dependent upon you and you do what it takes to make sure that he or she has comfort, cleanliness, and chow. So you can understand how parents may have difficulty in letting their baby cry, even for minutes at a time, and not tend to them. Just the other night I succumbed to some crying after what MSO said was only two minutes. My retort was that baby had started coughing, that gag kind of coughing, while crying and I had to make sure baby was okay. I then appended my response with a statement that it was a good thing that I went to check 'cause baby had spit up on the mattress and the dog was going to lick it up. Well, the dog was going to at least try to.
Since we're discussing the dog, I have to say that it was no piece of cake raising her either. Not as extreme as a baby, but pretty grueling, especially if you don't live in a house where the dog's potty place (outside) is usually easily accessible. How can you let such a cute thing with sad puppy eyes keep crying as well? It's tough. Maybe that's why she's so stubborn at times 'cause she
did get the lollipop (MSO). He can be such a softy with her. Oops, try not to make fun of him too much guys.
Was talking with MSO the other day about postage stamps and postcards, and wouldn't you know it, MSO didn't know postcards had a distinct postage rate. I thought he was being facetious but he actually did not know. So I present this poll...
Don't know how it is around the rest of the states, or in fact, the rest of the world but I've discovered there is a shortage of changing stations in public restrooms for men. Wherever the journey may take you, I'm sure you'll see many females taking babies to get diapers changed rather than males. Why is this I ask?! Aren't we a society that embraces equal rights? With that, I'd like to start a coalition to get changing stations in more men's restrooms. Anybody with me? Hello? Well, I'm sure I'm wasting breath and energy 'cause it'll probably never happen. 
But I do wonder how male parents take care of the task at hand when there's no changing station available and they're out alone. Men, tell us your methods.

It has been a rather rough week here at T Land. Partly self-inflicted but mostly on the part of the Garish Man. If you've had a rough one as well, go ahead and dwell in your misery and take heed to what this T-shirt has to say.
