Dub wakes and climbs out of his bed. He knows his mommy and daddy’s room is only steps away, but they are not who he wants right now. He wants the nice lady who sings to him and gives him sweet treats before bed. So he crawls slowly down the stairs and opens the door…
I didn’t have to wait too long before Lizzie finally entered the room dressed like she was returning from handling some type of emergency. As if she read my mind… “I hope you haven’t waited long…I was working the ER downstairs.” I was so happy to see Lizzie, that my bad mood seemed to subside…
For two days, I tried to eat anything and everything… …desperate for something that didn’t make me feel like crap. Everything I ingested had the same result. It satisfied me temporarily… …but eventually hit my stomach like a diesel truck. Then I was hungry all over again. I was getting scared, so I…

Me-Me is sitting with Dub in the living room, reading a book at the end of the day. It’s one of his favorites, and he practically has it memorized. Melisa: *reading* The happy little bear goes to the store and buys a – Wade: Cat! Melisa: Good job, Dubbie! *continues reading* But the cat is…
