		<description>That stinks about the accident and the roof. I hope Laylee&#039;s doing okay; the mandatory tears on the picture of the girl, and then her talk about the girl who hates the world are so sad. Maybe things&#039;ll be better now that she&#039;s less busy.</description>

		<description>OH...I haven&#039;t been here in awhile, but wow...you have a great way of writing with humor, even though so much negative stuff has been going on! I&#039;m so sorry things have been a little rough lately! 
Yep, I&#039;ve been rear-ended with a baby in the back at a stoplight...not fun at all. 
And the rat thing? I don&#039;t blame you for being wigged out AT ALL!
It sounds like you are a great mom and are trying to give Laylee some extra cuddle time...hopefully things will get a little calmer and happier for all of you.
Blessings!</description>

		<description>Wow.  Just awful.  I can&#039;t comment about the rats.  I&#039;m too wigged out to let myself think about it.  And I don&#039;t know what to say about the girl.  Our ultrasound showed that we are having a girl next April.  I plan on reading your blog until the day she leaves home to get girl-raising tips.

I do want to second Karen about the not signing anything.  I was rear-ended when the only new car I&#039;ve ever bought was 3 months old.  I had headaches that couldn&#039;t be cured.  The doctor said that sometimes when your brain gets jostled around in your head headaches will come and go for the rest of your life.  I happened to have one continuous headache for 6 months.  I finally settled with the insurance company when I started having good days.  On the bad days I would go home and take a Tylenol 3 (they have codeine -- they made TV very slowed down) which didn&#039;t take away the pain, but I didn&#039;t care anymore.  Of course this was long ago in the Time Before Kids. 

What was I saying?  Oh, yeah.  Make sure YOU think you feel better before you sign ANYTHING.  Don&#039;t take anyone else&#039;s professional opinion of your condition, assess yourself.  I think that&#039;s why I don&#039;t have regrets about my settlement.

Good luck!</description>

		<description>Oh you poor, poor dear. That is really just all too much. I have nothing else to say except STICK IT OUT, DUDE! And then have a big party and invite the girl who hates the world. Maybe a free-style rap party DYM-style will change her mind.

P.S. Please tell Laylee that I like eating in the car, too, and she can come eat in my car anytime. ;)</description>

		<description>Oh my word.  That was a lot.  Dude, the rats.  And the crying girl.  Where to begin commenting??

Sorry about your accident.  I&#039;ve been there and it&#039;s horrible and traumatizing and all around inconvenient.  Just don&#039;t sign anything that says you&#039;re a-ok physically.  Give yourself a week or two, you might find that the back pain lingers longer than it should and maybe even gets worse.

Don&#039;t forget your open door rest stop with clean bathrooms and hot food on your Christmas road trip.  The welcome mat is out, just say the word.</description>

		<description>I love you!  I completely understand about the rat-phobia.  They do not deserve to live.  That is all there is to it.  If the giant rat-o-sucker doesn&#039;t work, you can all come and live with us.  Dan is brilliant.  I&#039;m sure he could get a job here.</description>
