My hope is that by the time they’re five, both my girls will be better swimmers than me. Bear in mind that that isn’t a particularly lofty goal; it just means that they won’t drown in ten feet of water. […]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Make no mistake, if Arwyn took me down, it wouldn’t be me that would be getting Stacy’s sympathy or concern. I wouldn’t really blame her, as I’m sure that once I’d caught my breath and could actually speak more than[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The “under arrest” thing originally came up at my mom’s house while Kia was playing my cousin’s son. (Second cousin? Cousin once removed? I can never remember how that works, but we’ve removed him a few times and he keeps[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
