“Up in the air” is a good way to describe events as of late. I’ve had some of those serious late-night discussions with Deb. You know the ones - the kind of talks that are responsible for spur-of-the-moment actions and probably not the best basis for major life-changing decisions ( Read more... )

What can you say about having a child except for the undeniable fact that they obviously rule the home with an iron fist and we, as parents, are subject to their despotic impulses?
