There are days when I just want to pull my hair out by the roots and call it a day. Today is one of those days, and if I hadn’t just laid down some $$ for a spiffy new hair cut, I probably would be doing just that. I read these mom blogs sometimes that are […]
I am usually a pretty laid back person, fairly accepting of pretty much anything. But there are some things that just irritate the hell out of me. Judgemental, insulting, condescending people are one of those things, ESPECIALLY when that person constantly claims to be above all that. Ungrateful, arrogant, obnoxious people are another one of […]
