insult to injury

well after 11 years of hairdressing, and 3 pregnancy's, it's finally happened. i have varicose veins. and apparently a big ol' nasty one that's inflamed and painfull. so the only solution for me while i'm pregnant?...........support hose! that's right, big ol' nasty pantyhose style support hose. ugh! at 30?! i HATE HATE HATE pantyhose on the best days. sigh. but on the flip side, i actually got a really nice saying on my Starbucks cup this morning, " don't kiss your kids so that they will kiss you back. kiss your kids so that they will kiss their kids. "
