Dread!

I ought to be in bed, but I'm here drinking port. I have that appointment with the colo-rectal specialist tomorrow, and a bunch of people on livejournal are attacking me for having raised Linnea according to her individual needs rather than according to international childcrea guidelines.

I am trying to stay out of it, since I don't actually need to justify myself to them, and I do know I did the right thing, but it's hard.

This has just become my motto! Thank you for the giggle.

I confess, it's not original; it's a paraphrase of a quote by Field Marshall Von Moltke (1800-1891):

"No battle plan survives contact with the enemy."

I still think it's as applicable to childcare as it is to warfare.
