While at the site, check out the discussion board, where moms network. Hulagirl writes in the My Stories forum: I just wanted to share a story with you guys about my oldest son ... (who) asked me, "Why do people think WOMEN are weak?" I was at a loss for words. ... But before I could say anything, he opened his mouth. "Women aren't weak, they can do anything a man can do, and you're strong, Mommy ... and can do everything just as good as Daddy can do." Talk about a lump in my throat!

FINAL WORD

"I don't mindlessly gorge myself. ... To desperately go after the easiest laugh is like settling for crappy fast food."
