Last night we took our lovely family, charming children, intimidating mob to a bookstore for some free music. While there, I took my children to the bathroom about ten zillion a dozen times. Amy’s first visit, she shifted her weight slightly and the automatic sensors must have decided she had gotten up since she is […]
I need out of the house. I am losing my mind. I am tired of being pooped, peed and spit upon. I am tired of the children messing up faster than I can clean so that I never, ever make any progress. I am tired of being too busy dealing with spills and other people’s […]
