Wonders, Mishaps, Blunders and Joy.. commentary on my life as a mom in the form of letters to my son
Lucas goes to preschool 18 hours a week. Six hours, three days a week. Those 18 hours are precious as hell to me but also busy as hell. If I'm not sitting in a doctor's office or being seen by a doctor, which eats up a lot more of those 18 … [Continue reading]
