How do you not feel like the Queen Bee every single day?? You do so much and keep yourself together so well. I'm glad you are taking the summer off to focus on you for a while.
Crikey... I think I need to go to bed at 9 from READING that. Thank you for forcing fruits and veggies down their little throats. Jamie Oliver and I are proud of you!
Thank you for being Mice to the children and your administrative professionals!
Im unsure why pipe cleaner crafts would ever cause tears... maybe existential angst? That gets me a lot...
