Today, my son voted along with all the other students in the Pinellas County school system. Here’s a video post in his own words who he voted for, and why.
P.S. He also wanted to tell you about the origin of his name (lately that’s been something he wants to share with everyone LOL)
He didn’t inherit the gift of myopia from his father’s or my defective eyesight genes (even though we are both as blind as bats without our own optical enhancers) but he did enter into the near-sightedness masses, regardless.
One eye exam and a profound ‘eureka!’ mommy moment later… here’s to hoping he won’t be doing that annoying squinting thing anymore!
He hesitated exactly 1 millisecond to put on his new spectacles and even bragged that a girl at his school told him he looked ‘handsome’ wearing them. I must agree with the young miss.
Our little Buddha is seeing better already - He struck this pose spontaneously while we were taking pictures. Lucky for me I pulled off ONE shot before he giggled his way out of the frame.
Once a year I go through my son’s room and do a complete overhaul. I/we get rid of toys, books and clothing that are no longer age-appropriate and organize everything from top to bottom.
This weekend there’s more than one reason* that I’m going to be cleaning The Kidlet’s room: whenever stressed, I take it out on my house(work) in the form of cleaning. Stress-cleaning can’t be that bad, can it?
“What [our child] does isn’t a direct reflection of our parenting [ability or inadequacies] and isn’t an exact indicator of whether we’re good or bad parents… We’re not always around [our child] and can’t control the decisions he makes himself during times he has control over his actions.”

Something K1 and I have never had in our relationship is time alone - without children.
Traditionally, most duos have a nice furlough of lazy dating and cosy ‘couple time’ before their two-some eventually becomes a three-some. They have those sweet memories of sleeping late on the weekends, going out to dinner/bars/clubs/trips and on vacations with absolute freedom. Did you need a gallon of milk at 3 am? No problem, jump in the car and take your time, your honey’s waiting at home for you and (hopefully) isn’t screaming for attention.
If you’re one of those duos or former duos, I’m jealous.
Take it however you want it, but I wanna do bad things... right now.
