Wherein momma RUNS for her LIFE!
10.22.08Kidding... School PAC's. They scare me. I tried a long time ago to have a hand in them. Ended up leaving meetings in tears. What the hell is the point if adults can't speak politely and use tact? I became the chair one year and turned into the most hated woman ...

I thought you may appreciate this
8.7.08Since we are childless (by choice. It's okay. Honestly. I'm a better aunt than anything. Trust me.) I don't usually have too much to say about kids or babies or anything along those lines. But I did get to see the response after a department store worker asked someone on ...
