Abstract

Let me start by saying that I love my children. More than anything in this world. More than the nirvana of shopping alone at Target, more than Ben & Jerry's Truffle Kerfuffle, even more than Maggie Smith on Downton Abbey. BUT. If I hear the word "Mom" just one more time today, I am going to lose my s***.
