It really has been the only bright spot of my days this week. I love knowing that I have gotten through another day sane and in one piece.

I have found that Neosporin really helps with the finger cracks. 3M also has a product that you paint on the crack like fingernail polish, but you have to reapply it after a few hand washes. <BR/><BR/>I hope today is better day! :-)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01937578488362462994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793019708668617791.post-9713076398092246822009-01-13T13:21:00.000-06:002009-01-13T13:21:00.000-06:00It's funny that we look forward to reading and a q...It's funny that we look forward to reading and a quiet moment when we have kids.

I must get to a library & soon.<BR/>The only one that I've read from your pile is The Shipping News. It was interesting.<BR/><BR/>As for the cracking hands- I keep a tube of neosporin by my bed. I always put the neosporin on all the little cuts & cracks and then finish off with a good lotion(one without perfumes or scents.

NOTHING else has worked but this. <BR/><BR/>'hope tomorrow's a better one! enjoy your books :-).Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936054880885602604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793019708668617791.post-17134610593827516802009-01-12T20:04:00.000-06:002009-01-12T20:04:00.000-06:00ooh...I hope you are enjoying that bright spot, ri...ooh...I hope you are enjoying that bright spot, right now.
