Always evolving, Never Average
A couple weeks ago I had one of the worst mornings I’ve had with the kids in a long time. A LOOOOOOOONG time. They were at each other’s throats, pushing buttons relentlessly and doing whatever they could to piss each other off.

Some days you have mornings that go off without a hitch. And then you have mornings like today. HOLY SHNIKES. It didn’t start off that badly.

I almost pulled a classic Susie move a couple days ago. But I caught myself. Thank God. You may have read that I joined the 40 Bags in 40 Days Challenge for Lent. I’m still on track with that. (Woo hoo!) You may have also read the post I wrote last summer where I declared the …Read More
When is the last time you said No? And I don’t mean no to things like Mom, can I stay up until the Super Bowl is over? or Mom, can I eat chocolate chip cookies for dinner tonight? or Mom, can we get a kitten? I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, reflecting and evaluating in …Read More
