We OBVIOUSLY need a break to sort through our fabulous shoes and coffee collections and decide what we should really keep. (Plus our bladders are REALLY REALLY full from never being able to pee, so we should empty them.) The break will be appreciated by all of us. And you will be such a BETTER PARENT than us. Sincerely, Mom's The World Over Dear “Concerned”,

ARE YOU SURE? OMG HE IS SO SMALL!!" she told a mutual friend she wanted to turn us in, because 'we didn't appear to be taking his problems seriously'. oops. i got a little bit started. concerned should get a cracker pass – she’s all cheese.

Whoever he/she is they should be made to walk in your shoes for a while before are at all qualified to comment - or should I say totter in your heels? Your love and care for your kids shines through and Boo is a star. A good response Kelley and I am glad you have identified ‘Concerned’.

Fuck the trolls. You rock.
