For the things that never make any sense! XD

The pattern books are to help fund my website and I wanted to get something Monster High out while they're still a fad, got to make the dolls pay for themselves. There are times when I wish I had people near by who could own half the dolls for me because outside of comparison pictures they get to live in a box or fight for a place on the roof of the dollhouse.

All these thoughts of one is enough makes me wonder what happened to the Perfect Pancake book I have...

BTW, I've converted the currency value of my opinions from US cents to Japanese yen because the yen is currently worth more on the FOREX. I will be offering my 2¥ instead of 2¢ for the time being.

Damn, I can't remember what I was going to name the capital city for my fictional nation of Caelia. I actually keep a private blog to use as a story bible but apparently, I forgot to write it in there when I thought up the name.

OK, I kind of suspected this all along.

I'm really conflicted, but I have to share this somewhere. My eldest daughter almost died yesterday. She didn't which is more than great, so I keep feeling like I shouldn't make a big deal over it. And I certainly don't want to burn it into my family's psyche any more than it is - but I still keep seeing her in my mind. She fell asleep in the bathtub.
I knocked on the bathroom door to talk to her; I don't even remember what I was going to say. She didn't answer, I burst in and saw her laying there still in the water, not responding. I grabbed her and shrieked her name - and she woke up. No coughing and sputtering, she obviously didn't inhale any water. My youngest daughter was apparently screaming too, but I never heard her, I was so focused on my eldest.
I sent ED to bed and YD and myself had a big, shaky cry. We told my husband, we all had another cry and he went to check on ED himself. Then we all had another cry and finally went back about our separate business.
SO no real harm done, but I am still all shook up. I know ED is, she says she doesn't want to use that bathroom, at least today (which is problematic, it's the only one with a tub and she never did wash her hair yesterday, prosaic, but the truth).
YD keeps hugging ED and clinging to her, which is understandable, but is annoying ED. DH is keeping busy and not focusing on it. I mean, I've known for a long time that life is fragile and filled with danger - this just smacks it in my face.

Susan, I'm at a loss as to what to say other than relate a somewhat similar story. I remember (when I was about 16 or so) falling in the tub as I was standing to get out. I had locked the door. I wasn't seriously hurt, just banged up a bit (although my parents have no idea how close my head came to hitting the faucet). My parents were pounding on the door which decided it wasn't budging. I was able to unlock the door and we all freaked out for a while, but after a couple of days, all was fine again. Oh, and I've never allowed the bathroom door to be locked by anyone since then.

You and your husband are the best emotional thermostats for your girls, especially the youngest. If you all haven't, take a few moments to calmly discuss what happened. Let your girls know that while it was scary, they can also find comfort in the knowledge that you will be there. It's going to be a bit frightening (and embarrassing) for your eldest daughter, in particular, to take a bath for a while. She might opt for showers until she feels more comfortable in the tub. Let's hope she does - soaking in a warm bath with salts or bubbles is one of the great joys of womanhood! Let them know you might find it hard not to check on them in the tub for a couple of weeks, but that you'll get better. And let them know, as well, that you doubt there will ever be a repeat of falling asleep in the tub for either of them. Lesson learned and all

Okay, seems I did find something to say! Mostly, I'm glad all are fine.

Susanne, please run, do not walk, to a cardiac specialist.

[delbelcoure]

Do you mean me? And if so, why?

P.S. After some thought, are you alarmed by ED falling asleep in the tub for no reason? She had reason, she'd just finished a 28 hour play date and had only gotten 2 hours of sleep. This is her normal modus operandi when friends come over, but now we know, no baths afterward, she can go to bed smelly!
