#1 Where you really up at 2:00 am with all these questions?
#2 You are FULL of questions and alot of them I can relate to!
#3 Did one of your kids really get hurt?
#4 I’ll dress up as Sonny or Cher if you will make me homemade french bread! We might look silly singing “I got you Babe” to each other though! LOL!

Kelly,
I was up at 4:30a with these questions rambling around in my head. And yes my littlest one Elea got stitches-she’s whiny but fine…..and whiny is nothing new! As far as Sonny and Cher, we’d probably fight about who got to be Cher…I’ve always wanted long black hair.
BloomingAlmond says
hope your kids are ok! 😡
24# would be funny… sonny and cher are good options! or maybe John and Yoko (even if Yoko is in a bad mood)…
for #6, of course! active active active active! You go girl! run that thing!
Jennifer says
You made me laugh –
and think! Wow, that was quite an accomplishment! 🙂
(And who needs personal hygiene anyway, when you have a stack of books sitting there?)
