Want a good laugh? I had a emotionally unbalanced (I blame hormones) day yesterday and this happened: (I'm Mom. My husband texted the kids.) Mom: It's my birthday month (meaning everybody gets to treat me special.) Dad: Yes, you are going to b

My son is fighting the Carstens fire in California. What was he thinking, becoming a firefighter? What was I thinking, looking at these pictures? I am not going to sleep tonight!
