Stuff
So the Official Blog Acronyms are Rocket, Mina, ?, Ducky, and RTHTG. Write it down or something. It's beautiful and rainy here, and cold. I love it. I'm watching CougarTown and contemplating everything that's wrong with society.

So I'm kinda scared to ask, but what's....CougarTown? Cats or Chicks?
Also, HI! = D Blondiekins finally pooped after four days of tummy problems and finally, last night, a suppository. (The nurse at the ER, not me, thank God.) Never thought I'd be so happy to see poop. How do you keep track of that in your kids, and what do you use to help?
Rocket used to have problems with that...Nothing for two weeks, and then horrible, goopy nastiness all exiting at a high rate of speed. Bleagh. We eventually got him X-rayed, and it turned out he was dehydrated, which meant that his poop just kind of stuck where it was (impaction). So the liquids, instead of mixing with the solids, just kind of hung out until the pressure got high enough to force it out around the hard, dry bits. Ha ha, I bet you're sorry you asked now, huh? Now I just keep cold water where he can get to it by himself, and every now and then I buy prunes instead of raisins. As Dad likes to say, they make you regular. :-P I think thay also make fiber tablets for kids, although I've never tried them.
I'm glad she feels better, hopefully this is just a one time thing!

Aw, poor Blondie!
