Today Was A New Low

March 2, 2020 by not your average mom 5 Comments

I had a few mom fails today. First, this week is Read Across America Week I think. Or something like that. We had a busy swim meet weekend, and Number 7 didn’t unzip her backpack until about five minutes before the bus was coming this morning, so whatever came home on Friday — okay, let’s […]

Mom, Why Are You So Salty?

January 22, 2020 by not your average mom 10 Comments

October 24, 2019 by not your average mom 2 Comments
