On one super extraordinarily rare night I was out by MYSELF (soak that up for a minute) doing a Target run or something of that nature. After driving solo listening to the ABC's and the Itsy Bitsy Spider for sometime I realized I was alone and I didn't have to sing along to kid music. I put on the radio and that song Apple Bottom Jeans by T-Pain was on. Shawty had them Apple Bottom Jeans [Jeans] Boots with the fur [With the fur] The whole club was lookin at her She hit the flo [She hit the ...

Cleaning Tips & Printables

10 Days of Chaos & Camping
The last ten days have been a whirlwind around here. Ross was on a business trip for six days (Well he came home on the sixth day in the afternoon). I know there are lots of single moms and moms who have husbands that travel a lot, but that isn't the norm around here.
