That's what I want to know! That person obviously was either on Xanax or only had one child. I'm beginning to think that "child birth" is not the worst pain that we mothers endure. Puberty in our teenage sons is! I have decided that the definition of puberty is the same as being Possessed.

There was a time when I would listen to other women say there house was decorated country or Victorian. (I would wonder whether I was the only one decorated by Little Tykes!) Or better yet, during my youngest sons potty training days, Toilet Papering a house wasn't just reserved for Halloween but an every day occasion if not monitored at all times in the bathroom.
