4 yo is wearing swimsuit bottoms as underwear, 6yo has a doll under her shirt (pregnant?), and I desperately need a shower. Hello, Summer, we have arrived!
@atomic_mommy BEAUTIFUL! I love it... congrats! Have you read "Four Winds" by Kristin Hannah? Your story echoes similarities to the main characters of Hannah's book in regards to the alienation you describe.
Approximately once a year, I decide to stuff a stack of 12 sheets through the paper shredder because I am too lazy to break them up into two groups. Every time they get stuck. And I never learn my lesson. Today was that day.
