Baby bottoms are the cutest thing you have ever seen, as long as you are *not* the parent of said child. Unfortunately, the full moon at my house is connected to the fruit of my loins. Damn. So that means that I am stuck chasing a nearly two year old around the house with a […]
SO MY WEEK SUCKED
Do you ever have one of those weeks that just completely sucks? Where every traffic light you pass turns red, the kids constantly fight and your fat jeans feel tight?
