This is awesome.
It's happened twice in a week, and they were both women. Anyone ought to have more class than this, but women -- especially women -- should damn well know better. Last week, I was at the pharmacy a...

Mommy Moment
I'm having a revelation today. It's not one I haven't thought of before, but I feel it on a deeper level at this moment. Some people were born to be politicians or scientists or teachers or bankers.

This is definitely the best and most important (albeit the hardest) job I've ever had, and I wouldn't change a thing.
Brink of Insanity
Today was one of *those* days. If you're a parent, you know them well - the days where you wonder what you could have possibly been thinking when you decided to have children...where you're at the end of your rope and are relieved that your entire job performance as a parent will not be based on this one day. Because let's face it: as hard as we try, we aren't perfect parents every day. Honestly, we as humans are probably never perfect parents; we are just better at it some days than others. Today was not my day. The good news is that I get to try again tomorrow. I pray that the kids aren't as testy tomorrow, and if they are, I pray for more energy and patience to deal with it constructively. Amen.
