For her birthday this year, Tee wanted a magician to perform at her party. She seems to have an interest in magic, I think from the many times her Daddy has lied to her. Like when he bullshits her about Barney driving the red Ferrari on Formula One.......click to learn what next.

Since we were ALL rushing all over the place first thing in the morning, I quickly tugged out a pretty.......click to learn what next.

About Gucci bags and diamonds

I took Tee out for lunch today as I'd forgotten to prepare her lunch last night. Soon, I might forget she exists at the rate my brain is going. At the restaurant, which was packed like a Guatemala prison, we finally settled after a huge negotiation about which.......click to learn what next.

Whilst I was busy baking my mother's birthday cake today (yeah, the cost of medical bills this month threw all plans to buy a cake out of the window. It was that bad.), Tee ran up with some blue paper that she'd rummaged from our study asking me.......click to learn what next.

OK. Being a Stay-At-Home-Mom is the hardest job in the world. For the longest time, I've been losing steam chugging along bringing up this toddler of mine. There are days when I tell myself it's over. Can't do this anymore. Days like today.... With only 4 hours of.......click to learn what next.
