  Gang,

  As you can tell, I'm attempting to catch up on some postings I've been
  attempting to send (I've deleted many "half baked" letters, but after the
  Send or Not-to-Send discussions, I've decided to not worry so much about
  it).

  There's something I've been wanting to say for a while now - MOTHERS (and
  WIFES) ARE AWSOME !!!!!!

  Lisa has been living away from home now for 3 months (1 mo. pregnant and
  either in the hospital or apartment, and 2 mo. at R.McD house).  She goes
  to the hospital every day and spends the whole day.  She deals with all
  the little ups-and-downs that I don't see on my weekend visits.  She
  attaches herself to the breast pump 5-6 times/day.  Sure, she has her
  little break-downs (usually on Friday night when I get there - she says
  she can't afford to break down the rest of the week - the girls need her).

  All this and she has the nerve to feel sorry for me - I have to cook for
  myself and drive 4 hours each way every weekend - well boo-hoo-hoo!
  During the hospital stay, while she layed upside down in bed, she kept
  insisting that my job was harder than hers (granted, I was forced to eat
  hospital food, but at least I could eat!!).

  Then I read all these other stories about the things some of you have
  gone through.  Thank God that women have the babies, or humans would be
  extinct by now.

  God love you ALL,

  John
