Laundry day is that awkward transition point between “I have absolutely nothing to wear” and “Where the heck am I supposed to put all this stuff?” It’s the one day of the week… month… year that hot yoga shorts or bikini bottoms work just fine as underwear because my cats can’t tell the difference … [Read more...]
Missing Naps & Car Keys While Always Running Late
The day my child was born, I noticed he looked vaguely like a turtle. He had a round little face on a poky little neck. That resemblance was later reflected in his approach to punctuality.
