Allergy season, everyone! C’mon in, pull up a chair, bring your decongestants, antihistamines, PLEASE gawd your kleenex, and snork/hack/sneeze right along with my family.

All 3 kids have snotty noses, throat-clearing coughs, and the general malaise that comes along with it.

I spent all day yesterday with two VERY fussy boys right.on.my.lap all [...]

My dear darling daughter is spending the night with her cousin, Joe’s in the bed, and Dan is getting ready even as we speak. I don’t quite know what to do with myself… time “alone” is something of a rarity.
