How is it that you can love someone so much that you don’t mind being barfed on by that person 8 times in the span of 48 hours? My darling little munchkin complained of a “tummy hurt” last Thursday, she was totally fine on Friday, but Friday night is when she let it all out.

We’ve all had them – those days where nothing seems to be going right, where you say to yourself “am I on candid camera”? .. OR “am I seriously getting punked today”? Last Thursday I had one of those days. It started the night before, my 2 year old daughter and I went to battle.
