Normally, this is the part where I&#8217;d be going on a tirade about how my children have no concept of what it means to be civil to each other for more than a 1-hour interval &#8211; Mother&#8217;s Day be damned. And, as much as I love being able to utilize the internet [...]]]></description>

By the end we are usually pitching the pumpkins into the back of the car and dragging our dirt covered (often screaming) kids from the hay-bale labrynth. It is the sick and twisted side of [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t care what kind of pious or abstinent life you lead, there is no way you can honestly look back at the previous two months and not [...]]]></description>

Turned out everyone I know in Humboldt County had a similar plan, and I could hardly take two steps without running into someone else I knew. I guess once you have lived here for 17 years these things begin to happen. This [...]]]></description>
