Well, I think that’s all the necessary background. Onto the stories of the trials and tribulations of motherhood! I hope you’ll enjoy these as much as I love to write them.
The Bare Bones Mommy 
Fantastic! The layout is easy to follow. The two stories are fun and well written. However, I am a little disappointed that after three children, a PhD, four thousand and however many crisis’ averted and more than a quarter million diapers changed, that you have but only two stories. Heck. I have at least two stories from this morning. One parent asked if I would give his child oxycodone for teething pain. A twelve year old girl was tifting, that’s what we call it east of the Mississippi, with her mother and she said to her mother, “whatever mom. I hope you step on a leggo in you bare feet.” If those ain’t fighting words, I am not sure what are.
Good going and I can’t wait for more stories.

Woah there, Cowboy! There are more ponies in this barn. There are more pistols in my holsters. There are more…uh, you get the picture. Here’s the deal: you come babysit, and I’ll crank out another one. No, really, more coming soon!
