Hysterical Laughter

3:07 PM
Not that you would, but in case, for one moment, you operated under the delusion that I have it all together all the time and have some Super Mom thing going, let me quickly set the record straight. No one is Super Mom. Not even Super Woman. I know for a fact she invents catastrophes simply to escape the occasional madness in her...Read More

And in our house, after one week of Kyle staying home with us and helping me get my feet back under me (metaphorically speaking), it was time to get back to school.  For obvious reasons, we took a week off. But as...Read More
