Update
So if you’ve been following along, I have several updates. First, only two salad forks remain. They seem to be holding their own in the drawer as they’ve managed to stick around all week. Good news for the forks, and…
The suspension flowchart.
What are the rules for suspension? Hubby and I have had this conversation a handful of times now. With an entire village living under one roof, it becomes very easy to see when consequences aren’t applied equally across the board.…
Who pee’d in his Cheerios?
In todays edition of crap I can’t make up. 4:30am. Hubby locks himself out of the closet. 6:30am. I drive to Port Huron High School. 9:30am. I drive to L’Anse Creuse High School. 10:00am. Client at work. I survive all…
