What's the Deal With: Pins and Needles
Occasionally I'll wake up from a deep sleep and realize my arm has also fallen asleep. When it "wakes up," I do everything I can to keep still and control the almost unbearable sensation of "pins and needles."
There's actually a medical term for this called Transient Paresthesia.

I am very sad to report that Boyzone's Stephen Gately has died at the age of 33.
Stephen was on holiday in Majorca with his partner Andy Cowles when he apparently went out for drinks, returned to the place the pair were staying and fell asleep, tragically he never woke up. The cause of his death is unclear at this stage.
I Lied, Says Star-Faced Teenager
In a move that will likely leave you shocked, just shocked, the star-faced teenager has confessed that she made her whole sob story up.

You Know You're a Mother When: Throw Up
My lil guy was congested and curled up against me the other night as he fell asleep. He started hacking and seemed to have trouble breathing so I picked him up and headed down the hall to recline on the sofa and allow him some relief lounging at an angle. But, halfway there the poor kid choked a bit and everything came up — all over me.
babysugar Diaries: Getting Baby on a Schedule
Like many first moms, I was certain I would get my baby on a schedule right away. As soon as she made her debut, plans changed. I spoiled her —letting her fall asleep in my arms whenever she pleased and allowing her to nap as she pleased.
Jamie: "I'm Kind of Over All the Scallop Talk"
I was really disappointed with the outcome of Wednesday night's Top Chef. Jamie was my favorite cheftestant and I was certain she would make it to the final three. When I spoke with Jamie yesterday morning, I was surprised by her incredibly positive attitude.
True Tails: My Dog Ate Xylitol!
Nosy noses don't always know what's safe and, while even most of my nondog owning pals know the risks of chocolate, not everyone realizes the dangers of chewing gum.
