Lisa and The Hairy, Scary, Antsy, Very Bad Day
"Get in the shower NOW!" I sternly said through snot and sneezing, As I learned that my son and his friends got into the Ant Killer Spray my husband left on the deck. Allergies blazing like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, I had enough of this day. CLUNK. "Son of a..." The Muskoka chair my husband was building came apart as he tried to lift it up. I ran over to him, blood running down his head. This is a hairy, scary, antsy, very bad day.
My "SWUS" Game Plan of How I've Lost 5 lbs In A Week

The Goodnight Standard: What I Won't Take From My Son
