This morning we’re back to puking again. I think the only thing more miserable than taking care of one puking child and a baby who is interested in playing with the puke bucket would be two sick kids. This sucks. Im not sure what I’ve done to piss Karma off. Karma:1 Me: 0

When PC walked in the door tonight and asked how I was I told him, you know, same old same old, except with more spiders and rodents. Because in the 30 minutes prior to him getting home Mackenzie was fussy because she was tired, Nathan was having trouble listening, I was trying to get dinner [...]

Last night we went to the Shopette to rent a movie, get a bottle of wine, and Cool Whip*. While checking out I put Mackenzie (in her carseat) on the checkout counter while I got my wallet out. Nathan, very concerned, asks me “Mommy, why do we have to pay for Mackenzie?”
