Bill says “No” to most everything I ask for.

I don’t say that to be ugly. I love my husband, and even he admits those particular characteristics.
So, over the years I have learned that [...]

There is illness in our house.
Fever, sore throat, headache, muscle aches. Bill has had it, Mia, and now Cory. I am exhausted.

Least ye think all is perfect and wonderful at Chez andbabymakes6…..

My kids scream at each other.
They hit each other.
They lock each other out of the bedrooms.
Bill and I bicker about stupid stuff.
I get bad PMS.
Mia spends most of her free time screaming and whining.
I tell my kids “No” and they do [...]
