Family and Kids
October 18th, 2016 (the day of my scheduled C-section) I’m sitting here almost in a trance. Today is the day. The day I never imagined would come. I should be getting everything ready for my big delivery. In fact, my husband is bitching because I am on the computer but I have to do what … [Read more…]
If I’ve learned anything, it’s that parenting and pregnancy do not mix. It’s just impossible to be on your parenting A-game with a parasite, I mean, a beautiful bundle of joy sucking the life out of you 24/7.

Nothing spells mom on the verge of a breakdown like a Mom in the waiting room at the pediatrician’s office. Kids are screaming. Babies are coughing. And moms look like they are about to climb the wall. And that’s in the “well waiting area.” The sick waiting area is complete and utter mayhem. Why were … [Read more…]
I just watched the below link about a woman and her family screaming through Target with a Bible in her hand about the new bathroom policies. Take a minute and watch the video. Woman with Bible protests against Target’s new bathroom policy I then read an article by a publication that I have an immense amount … [Read more…]
