via Facebook... This. Disturbing to think of, but totally makes sense. " Oxytocin, a hormone that is released during arousal, can increase pain tolerance by as much as 75 percent. So I wasn’t surprised to read that some kids who are regularly spanked experience a surge of oxytocin when they sense danger. It makes sense. If a kid expects a parent to cause physical pain, why wouldn’t her brain trigger an unconscious state of arousal to release the hormone that helps mitigate that pain? Does the possibility that parental spankings trigger sexual arousal hormones along with tears make anyone else a little uncomfortable?"

via Facebook... I finally (after words of relaxation from a good friend) fell asleep about 4am. Then Misha woke me to go potty at 5:30. And at 7. And breakfast at 8:30. So now I'm awake. But....I'm going to take a nap. Soon. And on the plus side I'm so exhausted my headache isn't bothering me. Not sure if it's gone or idgaf,
