The Transition
Recognizing and prefacing everything that is soon going to vomit out of my mouth, I love my kids more than I could possibly even pretend to put into words. I would also like to emphasize, that this is in no … Continue reading
The Long Week
This week has officially been the longest week of my life. Partially self-induced. Partially court-induced. Partially people induced. Regardless, all I am doing now is praying in earnest to let the next 48 hours pass quickly and without event so … Continue reading

Excuse me while I find my Bitter Cape
