This week’s re-run was fun for me to re-read. My kids don’t really have these easy to answer questions and demands anymore. I kind of miss debating with my littles about why we stop at red lights and why we don’t eat raw meat. Time has flown way too fast and my littles are not…
It's Mental Health Monday and here's where I am today. Brain, tired. Words, hard. Not falling asleep where I stand, challenging. Decision making skills, gone. Flexibility and adaptability, minimal. Quick back story: My #1 had an unexpected appendicitis this past weekend. Now, is appendicitis ever expected? Probably not but my ability to configure adjectives here…
