Julia
Julia lives behind the Tofu Curtain, in the Pioneer Valley, in Western Massachusetts. It's a nice place. She likes it there. She'd invite you in for a coffee, but the three kids, the hockey-playing Canadian husband, the Dog-Who-Sheds-A-Lot and the Cat-Who-Pukes-A-Lot mean that the house is in a constant, ever-changing state of chaos.
In fact, she thinks she used to have two cats but believes one is lost in the clutter. Either that or it decamped for neater surroundings. Her eldest daughter, Olivia, has type 1 diabetes. She's also 13. It's a real toss-up as to which is more difficult -- the diabetes or the teen-age drama.
When she's not trying to grab a nap, grab a toddler or grab a drink, she can be found here, on dLife or over at her other blogs (the ones where she swears with gay abandon) Major Bedhead and New England Mamas. She'll bend your ear on just about any subject. There are only two things that she won't tolerate bad grammar and dissing the Red Sox. And even the grammar can be flexible. The Red Sox? Not so much.

I know. I cannot imagine seeing my child go thru that and not doing anything. I couldn't live with myself.

I watched the first episode and am DVRing the rest. I thought it seemed pretty common sense, too. The guy's a bit of a character.

She's been tested for celiac and it came back negative. I'll be making an appointment with a gastroenterologist as soon as we have health insurance again.

Thanks, peej18. I appreciate the apology. Be well.

I am definitely not ruling out anxiety. I want to see if it's physical first, but anxiety issues wouldn't surprise me either.

Excellent post, Nicole. I, too, have been parsing this play in my head for a while now and find that it makes me very emotional. I have a hard time discussing it without tearing up a bit.
That putting a frame around it line really was fantastic.
Thanks again for the opportunity to see the play with you (and Kerri and Shannon, of course!). It was a great experience.

I was going to post a very nasty reply to some of the more vitriolic comments here, but I've calmed down (a bit) and have decided to leave it alone for now. I know I'm not neglectful and I have never once said that I don't want to be a mother. Those comments are hurtful as well as being completely and utterly wrong.
The other comments have been lovely and I thank all of you for them. I like the support I get here and I don't mind a kick in the arse when it's a constructive kick.

Blah. I'm sorry you're having such a rough time of it. You alluded to it the other day, but I hadn't read this post then.
I usually try not to think about it. I stick my fingers in my ears and say "lalalalalalala". Loudly. Otherwise I fear I might lose my mind with worrying that it's doing just that to Olivia.
