Qi = part of everything that exists; life force; metaphysical energy that sustains living beings...does qi exist as a force separate from matter, or does qi arise from matter, or does matter arise from qi? Who comes first: the baby or the parent?
Well, maybe I can hold onto my M-O-T-Y award for another day (although I know that there will be something else tomorrow...). Turns out she doesn't have a sunburn, just a weird rather benign fever-induced rash. These little people are fascinating ongoing science experiments! She is finally sleeping and I am going to try to do the same. (I think the moty awards are overrated anyway)

I've borrowed these words because they so accurately reflect how I feel..."Because a woman's work is never done & is underpaid or boring or pointless & since we're always the first ones to get fired & what we look like is more important than what we do & if we get raped then it's our fault & if we're beaten we must have provoked it & if we raise our voices we're naggy bitches & if we enjoy sex we're nymphos & if we don't we're frigid & if we love women its because we can't get a "real" man & if we ask our doctor too many questions we're neurotic & if we expect childcare we're selfish & if we stand up for our rights we're aggressive & "unfeminine" & if we don't we're weak & if we want to get married we're only really out to trap a man & if we don't we're unnatural & we can't get an adequate safe contraceptive although men can walk on the moon - but if we can't cope or don't want a pregnancy we're made to feel guilty about abortion - and - for lots of other reasons I am a part of the women's liberation movement."

soooo... if you were heading off to sleep to get some well needed rest, what were you doing posting the prose 30 min later?? The timestamp never lies :)
glad to hear that she is getting some rest and feeling a little better. Keep up your rest so you can smile through it...
