Top 10 signs you are one overwhelmed mother

Your short-term memory is fried. By that I mean you walk from the kitchen to the pantry and forget what you're getting from the pantry. But that's the minor leagues. I leave the house headed to Walgreens to pick up meds and forget what I'm there for. You sweat--a lot. Or maybe that's just me? … Continue reading Top 10 signs you are one overwhelmed mother

It's been six years since my mommy died. Actually, it's been six years today that my mommy died. Somewhere around 3:15 pm to be exact.
