As I type this, my good friend Dan has hopefully said "I do" to the only woman who can hold her own with him without causing him bodily harm. Dan, this is my wish for you:

May the best day of your past be the worst day of your future
May your home always be too small to hold all your friends.
May you both live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live.
And if the roaring flames of your love have burned down to embers,
May you find that you've married your best friend.

Still feel yucky. Beginning to think it's more emotional wear and tear than it is physical illness. Scott and I are doing so amazingly well (together and individually) through this whole splitting up thing. Our relationship was built on a solid friendship and that foundation is helping us both be kind to each other. The fact that we are being kind and respectful is making it easy on Christopher so everyone is doing quite well from that aspect. However, I have been watching the exact same situation handled differently in a friend's situation and it's painful to watch. I beg anyone who is splitting up (particularly if you have kids) to look at your soon-to-be-ex partner and remember the days when you'd give up your life to protect them from harm. If you can remember even a teeny bit of that and hold on to it, you will do whatever you can to make it as painless for them (and you) as possible. Scott is not the man for me but I would still tromp all over anyone who deliberately hurt him so I certainly am not going to hurt him myself. This could very easily turn into a rant so I'll close it by saying: Life is short. Play nice.

Christopher was sick yesterday and I think he gave it to me. I am normally tougher than nails and am intimidated by no one or nothing but that pukey feeling starts and I am done for. I think it's because I was sick literally every single day through 7 months of pregnancy. I'm all puked out. The thought of doing it again is just unbearable. I think I'll go to bed.
