Car Trips With Toddlers “I wanna get out and walk.” “It’s my turn to drive now.” Throws book on the floor: “I want my book back.” “I wanna go back to the beach.” “I want my shoes off.” “Sand! I have sand!!” “I want my stick back!” While Pregnant Mama (TM) tries desperately not to [...]
I am feeling utterly restless and unable to sleep. The weather on my computer says that the temperature is down to 70, but I don’t believe it.
