Teaching My Daughter To Use Her Emotional Powers For Evil

Since I’m medically certified as crazy enough for prescription medication by my pill-pushing psychiatrist, I no longer understand the Instant Cry routine Claire has implemented. Her arsenal of tactics to get what she wants has evolved from throwing her wee body on the ground in protest to the Instant Cry where she’s perfected the art of popping out [...]

by Angie [A Whole Lot of Nothing] on January 3, 2012

in All About Me,Family,Married Life,This? Is Not OK

I don’t often brag about living in Florida. Except I’m lying. Going to the beach in December is pretty effing Awesome. Just be glad I didn’t take a picture of the margarita I drank while the sun set over the Gulf. I’m slightly jealous of everyone else’s cooler weather. And I’m definitely jealous of everyone else’s summer [...]
