I’m really glad my ladies’ holidays aren’t coming up anytime soon, because my goodness I am an emotional girl this week; it would be pretty bad if I threw some hormones into the mix. Part of it, maybe, is the fact that my kids are now in the “big kid” section of the school, far […]

Just to set the stage, here, it is 3:24 pm and I’m considering opening my SECOND beer. Listen, I’m just impressed I made it until Friday to start drinking. It’s been a very involved week, parenting wise, and by that I mean that I was chaperone to an all-day field trip to the museum on […]
