Saturday

It breaks my heart. I feel for my babies.. and I give them herbal calmatives which work for some to a degree. Others not so much. One baby is 8 mo old... its his first 4th. He's a basket case. Attached to me at all times right now. Hell. I'm old enough even i don't like the loud sounds anymore... especially when it's steps above the old M80 at 2am!

Someone took out our mailbox dodging firecrackers the other night. That added to my rage. But mostly I think of all the feral and lost babies out there all alone not understanding what is going on. And whoever thought veterans would appreciate the bomb sounds was just plain dumb IMO.
