The Palin Effect Kate Gosselin- love or hate her- has a certain something which makes you look.  Even my mom knows who "Kate" is...& Mom's idea of  'following reality shows' is the one time she watched 2 minutes of Top Chef with me- because I hid her remote control.

My 3 year old son sleeps in my bed.  In between my husband and me.   I dream about passing out in a Mexican border town & having a kidney cut out of me because he kicks me in the back all night.  He still sleeps with us because we are too lazy to get him in his own room.   Fits + sleepless nights= path of least resistance. Obviously, the lady who got her nipple pierced with a 3 year old is...

Maggie, age 14, when not swamped on Pinterest, peruses other apps. Yesterday, she told us about her family. (It’s not us.) You can APP a family.  Download people right to your phone who have babies, fights, don’t do the dishes, etc.   Her APP dad’s name is Nugget & mom is Evita. Meet their baby, Adam… Evita never puts the baby down.  Sore spot for Maggie.  App less fun.   ((((...
