Stop. Growing. Up.
This week has been trying to say the least. I cant remember the last time I was sick. No. I take that back. The last time I was sick was January of 2009. I swear the moment I remind myself, "You ...

As we wrap up the holiday season, I sigh in relief. Though the magic, and warmth of all those family get togethers, the purchasing and wrapping and giving of presents, watching my little girls face l...

Last night I went to bed at 9:00 pm. Which is rare in my house. What is even more rare, is that as soon as my head hit the pillow I was asleep. No tug of war with the blanket, not adjusting my pillow...
