Darn. The previously clean baby was now soaked in his own urine. Today I am not awesome. I totally jumped the gun. Do I need to bath him again? Can I even do it twice in a row on my own? First time was initially a success, so I doubt a second time will be too....

Such events include - pregnancy, motherhood, school years, work worries, holidays, and even run of the mill things like school runs and supermarket trips. The types of anxieties vary, but my speciality? Predicting and dwelling on the extreme worst case scenarios....
