My blog about parenting biological and adopted kids, some with everyday kid issues and some with much more serious medical/behavioral issues. I don't care if anyone else ever reads this, my main purpose is for me to have somewhere to vent some of my thoughts, frustrations and successes. If it sounds like I'm complaining, I'm not. My kids are everything to me, I love them more than anything, but sometimes I just need to let it all out!

But wait! Where are all of the suitcases and socks and underwear strewn all over the place and DS's and cups and plates and food?
I can no longer relate to a clean hotel room!
Doesn't look much different since I was there in the 70's and 80's
I know, Denise, I do usually leave all that stuff around the room, but I am trying to be good and clean up after myself!!! LOL!!!
I can't believe you were SO close and didn't come to visit me! I was only another eight hour drive from LV... :)
