Blog-a-rific

I'm sure you can tell from the number of posts, I'm not overly diligent about posting. It's not that I don't want to. It's really not that I'm lazy. I'd just rather do other things. Maybe it's that I don't see the fruit of my labor, so why spend the time?

What’s sad is blaming things on Niley’s need to put everything in her mouth has worked for my older kids too. But I’m a good parent so I figured I needed to come up with a more viable excuse for life’s ills, woes, blunders, failures, and needs to shift the blame. Put down your mocha latte and open your mind to what I’m saying. Work with me. Here it is…
