CLICK for the first part, if you missed it. A recurring theme in my life is that the kids weigh very heavily on it. This kind of goes for all of my sisters (and not just the actual mother, haha). That year in Texas pretty much killed me being without the big one and as … Continue reading 31: Kids are weird pt. 2

I am as simply or as complexly as you make me: the control freak, the jolly realist, the observant and highly opinionated. I like all things art, emotion, love, and passion induced.
