I want to write something about how my friend just spent 30 hours in the hospital delivering her first baby, but I don’t know what to write about it except for just that.  Thirty hours.  I hope she’s sleeping right now.

We wish good rest and good health for all three (!) in their little family.

Cheeks and I are both sick.  I’m curled up on the sofa, moaning.  He’s running around the house pretending he’s well.

“I’m hungry.”

I don’t feel like moving.  I’m not even sure I can move.  I ask him what he wants to eat and hope he requests crackers.  He contemplates his answer as he climbs up to sit next to me.

“Mac & cheeze.”

Of course he does.  We don’t have any mac & cheeze.  I tell him so.  I can see the words affect him.  He frowns.  Then he falls over sideways.

“Oh. My. God.  I’m soooo hungry!”

I just bought a pattern for knitting my very first sweater.  Now I can start my yarn search.  Wish me luck.

Jane Richmond's Oatmeal Pullover. It's said to be the best beginner sweater out there.

I recently spent some time online searching for a travel potty seat for Cheeks.  I’d like one of those small, folding seats that just sits on the bigger toilet seat.  They all seem to have problems.  Not one seat looked like it was for me, but I found a good chuckle at Babies-R-Us.

Perfect!!!!!!

By M&Ms from WV on 5/7/2010

Pros: Comfortable, Compactable, Convenient, Durable, Easily Stowed, Simple

Best Uses: Adults, Children, Portable Bathroom, Teens, Toddlers

Describe Yourself: Parent of Two or More Children

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

“Amazing! It has so many uses. Yesterday my son had too poop and we were at the park. I just pulled out the potty and he pooped right there, no problem. The liners are expensive, but when I’m on a trip, I just pullover and let him go on the ground without the liner. He doesn’t notice the difference and it saves some money! I used it once when we were camping and it works great it holds adult poop just as well!”

People, one customer found that helpful.

I wonder, which part was helpful?  The informed proclamation that this potty seat, intended for potty-trainees to use when they need a quick, safe place to relieve themselves, “has so many uses?”  Maybe the idea to just let your kid “go on the ground without the liner?”  No?  Oh, then it must have been that “it holds adult poop just as well!”  I mean, not many other products would enable adults, teens, children, and toddlers alike to just “poop right there, no problem.”  And then tell the entire internet about it.

Obviously, this thing really is, as the reviewer suggests, best used as a Portable Bathroom for all ages.  With maybe a few bonus uses yet to be discovered.
