Hello from the other side! So yeah, that was fun. By getting this flu and in turn, giving it to my son, I was just being a good mother. You see, Ben told me last week that he wanted a day alone with just me. Well kid, how about THREE!? Just you and me, Buddy. [...]

Tuesday evening I picked up my child from a TWELVE HOUR field trip! Yes, you read that correctly. They left school at 8:00 am and returned at 7:30 PM! I think his teacher’s head needs to be examined. In my day, our big field trip was a ten block gaunt to the downtown library. For [...]
