Not-So-Perfect Parent: Pass the Caffeine Please!

I cannot remember the last time I slept through the night. Dreams are constantly interrupted by coughs, sniffs, and an occasional squeal from my boys’ room. It’s like I have Bionic Woman ears that I can’t turn off. My body is ready to spring into action the moment a sound, any sound, is detected. Not to mention, our youngest has a tendency to sneak (in a not-so-sneaky sort of way) into our room around 2 am and squeezes in between my husban...

Have we come to the point where we slide right into Santa before we can finish off the Halloween candy?

Now I know the retailers...

My son was Assistant Vice Principal for ½ a day. I know what you’re thinking…. “Assistant Vice Principal for ½ a day?? Boy, you must have a pretty great kid to receive that kind of honor!”

But alas, this prestigious title was not awarded because of good behavior and excellent grades. Instead, his father and I spent and un-Godly amount of money after having too many margaritas at last year’s school auction. Still, my son was pretty ...
