total parental failure…
For the past several days my little ray of sunshine and rainbows (and fantastic dance numbers) has been having a hard time.At first I thought it was just because she was being bratty...

For those of you who don't already know yesterday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day...It's a holiday you know.No, really it is, do you know how you can tell?

I try not to be frustrated here (unless those frustrations include melodrama or hilarity) but today that is all there is.This frustrated shell of a mom whose kid is not adjusting terribly well.
