Queen of Rambles

Even though I was thrilled to have my mom here and know I am going to miss her, today has been really nice. No Jerry Springer. No Maury. No yelling litigants on her various court shows. She sees these shows as comedy. I see them as headache inducing drama. I [...]

Where oh where has the day gone?
Oh yes. It’s gone into the clutches of the DMV. That’s two hours of my life that I’ll never have back. I’m just glad I was able to pump some milk and leave Erik at home with my mom. I wouldn’t have wanted to expose him [...]

Mike behind the wheel again.
There is of course a lot less to report today. C is quickly recovering and has been able to eat normally and walk around quite a bit. She is starting to get really frustrated being “locked up” in the hospital room, and is going to do her best to [...]
