Cool Mom? Apparently I’m Not One Anymore

I thought I was a cool mom, but apparently that changed.

Mommy List: 10 Reasons Why I’m Cranky Today

Why am I so cranky today?  Hmmm, let me list the reasons. I didn’t sleep well. For some odd and mysterious reason, my children morphed back into newborns and determined that being up during the night was much more ideal than sleeping. Can I take a nap? I cooked dinner and no one ate. You’d…

Mommy List: 12 Household Mysteries I Can’t Figure Out

If scientists could uncover these 12 mysteries, that’ll be great. The Great Sock Debate.  Like really. How do so many socks go missing?  Like, hundreds each year?  It’s a mystery that doesn’t even statistically add up.

My thoughts on the first day of work back from maternity leave: It’s my first day back to work after maternity leave, and I can’t believe I made it without dying from emotional pain! Oh God it hurts!
