Poor Kid 1. Let me back up. Kid 1 is not a whiner. She is not a complainer. She understands things, she does. But she’s still sad about not having a cell phone. She doesn’t mention it above a couple times a month, so it’s not even obnoxious. More like “Hey, if I get a...

We have certainly gotten our money’s worth from it, but I worry just a little that ten more years will mean all the poly-plastic needles have gone the way of... Today is Husband’s birthday. Husband, the loving, the talented, the hard-working, the early-rising, the studious, the gentle, the appreciative, the concerned, the love of my heart. Want to know what? I love birthdays.
