I’m struggling right now. The kids, and all their stuffed princesses and shooting neon Nerf guns are adorable, but…but…this mama is TIRED. You see, I think I am missing some gene… The gene that has endless patience with 2 yr. old fits over why Mommy makes her wear shoes when the temps are in the

Like so many, my family was slayed by the Holiday Sickness Beast. Well slayed. I have no idea how the horror should actually be classified–flu? Hellacious stomach bug? Brief slice of Eternal Damnation? In the end, I suppose it doesn’t matter what you call it. In our house, it shall always be known as That

The last re-post for a bit, but from the files of last New Year’s…yeah, nothing has changed…EXCEPT THE ADDITION OF THE OLYMPICS. 34 days, but who’s counting??
