Fact: Appelflappen & babies often don’t mix. Appelflappen did not reach its current insane proportions until my children were well out of diapers….

Scary fact: After a long hiatus, I am back for more punishment, thanks to a new cat and kitten. It’s been a long time since I’ve cleaned up poop, pee or barf… Amazing what you will do in exchange for LOVE.

I love the “on a date with my anger” line, too!

I know about wanting him to WANT to go! Why can’t the guys just want what we want them to want to keep things simple?

“I realized he actually said that he would go to the party.”

I totally get caught up in this kind of stuff, because not only do I want my husband to go to the party, I want him to WANT to go.

“Sometimes I think I go on a date with my anger.”

Brilliant. Yes. Me too.

Isn’t it great to understand that’s what you’re doing? I mean, at least you can insist that Anger bring you back by midnight, with only a kiss on the cheek. You don’t have to get engaged and grow old together.

Ah, self-awareness. What a marvelous thing.
