Ready for Some Summer Fun?
Children naturally love to play. My son spends most of his waking hours just having fun.

And the List Goes On
The fact that men and women react to stress differently is well known. The fact that military spouses and their husbands react to deployments differently is also well known.

Southern Style
If there is one thing that I learned living in the South, it's that a Southern lady maintains control no matter how badly her children act.

Metamorphosis
One of my favorite short stories is Kafka s Metamorphosis, where Gregor Samsa wakes up as a gigantic insect and has to deal with his new found identity.

Out of the mouths of babes
Mama, how did the baby get in there? my four year old demanded one day. I had been dreading this moment the entire pregnancy, although at seven months along I figured I had gotten lucky to get this far.

The Unfit Mother
Day One. I awake to the doorbell. My toddler son has not yet crawled into bed with me to snuggle as he usually does, so I shuffled quietly down the hall to answer the door.

To my great shock, it's my son in just his boxers and t-shirt with a big grin on his face. I profusely thank the two women that have brought him home. As soon as I get my son inside, I ask him what he thinks he was doing.
