momma drama

My daughter started kindergarten Tuesday, so it's been a week of firsts for me. It's been good so far, but there is one thing I can't stand-- the traffic in the car rider line.

Want to laugh and cry at the same time? This nifty new internet calculator can show you EXACTLY how much sleep you've lost because of your kids. Nothing like knowing you're missing six months of shut eye, right?

Thousands of kids begin a new school year today in Tuscaloosa, and for the first time, my little girl is one of them. It's her first day of kindergarten and although she may be ready, I don't think I am.

My daughter will celebrate her third birthday tomorrow, and as I look back on the past three years, I realized I've grown just as much as my little girl. It's been a tough road at times, but I have learned so much.

If you need me, I am probably in my office weeping.

Kids get lice. It's a fact of life. I knew there was a chance my kid would get lice, but that didn't stop me from having a full-out DEFCON 1 meltdown last night. Y'all, my daughter had lice. Help me.

It was a normal (albeit insanely hot) afternoon. I went to pick up my daughter from daycare. I could have never imagined the horror that awaited me. I'm shuddering just thinking of it. Y'all, let me tell you the crazy thing my kid did yesterday.

There will never be a day where I feel anything but seething hatred while doing laundry. It is the worst. It's the repeat offender of household chores. I cannot be alone in this. Y'all, I hate doing laundry.

The past week was super tough--my little girl has been really sick, and I've been doing everything I can to help her get healthy again. I've developed a way to stay organized amid the chaos, and I found a few life hacks that will save you plenty of precious time. That's right, y'all--it's my Sick Kid Survival Kit, and I'm sharing it with you guys today!

My baby is no longer a baby. Kids grow up; it's part of life. I get it--but why didn't anyone tell me it was going to be so hard?
