Picture Day
I am a bad mother. I forgot picture day at Wylie's school. Totally missed it. Didn't even cross my mind till tonight when I found the envelope and I thought "huh, picture day is this week isn't it?"

I took care of the crying later, and gradually - and happily I might add- adjusted to the idea of Life with Miles instead of Life with Clara (as She Who Wasn't ... View Post

I am actually just biding my time till I can properly decorate it for summer and all our patriotic holidays (old flags, lots of sunflowers and roses...,) and with Easter having been so early this year (thank goodness that won't happen again for at least another 100 ...
