Yesterday, as I was writing this post in my head, I was thinking there were only two me’s. The cute, off-beat, wacky, funny, cheerful me that you all see. And the fly-off-the-handle screaming lunatic mommy me I share only with my dear family. My friend Quint...

Today, Morgan asked the ‘rents (that would be Hal and me) to buy deoderant for him to take to school for use after soccer. I couldn’t get to the HiperMas* fast enough. If you’ve ever been a parent of a teenager, you know what a happy day this...
