I have a sensitive nose. I gag easily when forced to compromise the status quo of my olfactory senses by cleaning up puke, digging a poop covered toy out of the toilet and other such details of motherhood. I get queasy at the sight and smell of blood. I fainted once when I cut my [...]

Dad’s Night Out

January 5, 2008 by Leave a Comment

When the Dad is away, the kids will play (and destroy stuff and run wild through the house until they finally pass out with a mouth full of junk food.) Dad is at poker night tonight, which means that, basically, I’m on my own. Luckily, I only have five kids to keep tabs on. Dad [...]
