Thanks Facebook…you jerk :(

Thanks Facebook…you jerk :(

Full disclosure: this is me having a "real" moment. I enjoy Facebook's "on this day" feature for the most part. A friendly reminder of precious moments that happened this same day in past years.

Switching Providers?

While sorting through the last mountain of paperwork on my dining room table I rip up a few things into a trashcan beside me.  Aaron: "Are you switching to T-Mobile?" Me: "No. Why?"

I started a new position at work and I'm learning/working so it's taking me longer to get through assignments. While pulling my hair out on this alone Aaron asked me to fix "Abby". Abby is a stuffed...well used to be [...]

6:50AM - We are standing at the bus stop in a crowd of kids who are running around. Moms are all dressed in their PJ'S with super hot hairstyles called "it's too early for this". A white minivan passes the bus stop on its way out of our neighborhood. Suddenly Isaiah starts loudly proclaiming he [...]
