This is Dr. Laura. The call of the day is coming right up after this message from my sponsor.

2:29.5

toddler and she's kind of been an issue in the past though. My husband has been pretty good

2:40.9

handling it though. And being that buffer. Sarah. And Sarah.

2:53.1

We're not having our mother-in-law over. Who do we have next in line? We have a sister,
