I realize that we live in a society where everyone wants to be divisive over everything. But Bruh, I’m over it.

I’m One Tired Mother Trucker.
Less than two weeks from Christmas. I feel like I should be happy and joyous and singing Jingle Bells off-key like every year. But, alas, I am a tired mother f#(ker.

Should You Let Your Adult Children Move Back In?
Okay, this is a tough one. I have always (since the kids started walking on their own) told the kids that when they hit 18, they’re out.

When Do They Go Back To School?
We are week 2 into summer and I’ve already had a nervous breakdown. How many more weeks till they go back to school? Don’t get me wrong. I love my kids. But they are hoarders in training. It’s like they spent time in a Military inspired boot camp that teaches teens to torture their moms… Continue reading When Do They Go Back To School?
