All summed up so you can move on with your life.

I said some ridiculous things at IHOP while my kids ruined the breakfasts of everyone around us.
I shared some wonders and worries about my 7yo son, as I reflect on myself at that age. Some readers’ comments made me cry. You people owe me a new box of tissues.
Some of you had the same questions I did about the photo I shared on Facebook (below). Many, MANY questions…

What. The HEZZLE to the BEZZLE was going on with this outfit, and why is no one concerned about my brother falling in the 3-man homemade BBQ pit?
I explained the main differences between a lovely pregnant woman I saw in Starbucks vs what I was like at that stage of pregnancy, then told you how making a mess of myself gave me an important reminder.

Is that you in those suspender shorts? Were they painful? I had a similar pair in yellow and I suffered through the pain for fashion, not sure how I got that one so wrong. Going back to catch up on your week!

Yep, that’s me. Unfortunately. And, being tall, they were not comfortable at ALL. Ouch.
