Mommy ... I'm not sure why you set it on fire, but no worries ... I'll eat this thing you are calling a birthday cupcake, and in fact, I'll eat the entire thing!

I didn't put a bra on until 2:00 p.m. My sweatshirt has yogurt all over it. My fingernails look like they've been chewed on by a wild animal. I can't remember if I brushed my teeth today. I just picked at my face for 10 minutes because I'm stressed about work. My nose is running and I'm thinking about wiping it on my yogurt-decorated sweatshirt.

I'm one hot momma.

Survived the first non-family, teenage babysitter.

Because one tub photo isn't enough!

Having fun in the tub!

The end ... thought I would be ecstatic when this day came, but I'm feeling like a bit of a failure instead.

See those bananas in the grocery cart? I ended up having to hide them because twice I discovered Maren twisted around into some ridiculous position ... chewing on a banana.
