I love my kids. I really really really do. But I may have cried a little when I was told that daycare was closed this Monday. I need to recharge my batteries! There goes my mom if the year award!
A few weeks ago I posted about my first mammogram. I never got a call back. I never got the letter they promised if everything was fine. After about two weeks I called my OB/GYN, Dr. P.

But while I was struggling to make peace with the timing I celebrated the baby inside me. While my sleep deprived brain tried … Read more

Having worked in the heart of and close to politics for over ten years I try to get as far away from divisive issues as possible, but after spending the day biting my tongue I decided I needed to say something.
