I wish..

that Bug would sleep through the night. Even just one night that Bumblebee would snap out of these awful stomping, whiny, crying tantrums that Monkey would lose a little bit of the ‘big boy on campus’ attitude he cultivates every day he goes to big school that my dogs could live forever, same goes for

I wish I had been told

Just a small list of a couple of things I wish people had warned me about before I embarked on this crazy journey called “Motherhood”: You will never feel like an adult. Ever. Even when you have two children. In fact, you will probably feel more like a child than ever before as you stoop to

Students

Once again I had an idea of what I wanted to write and then when I sat down to write, my mind said no. I wanted to write about my ear and how it has caused me to have dizzy spells pretty much all day for a month – finally managed to get to a
