So Many Thoughts....

I'm not sure if I should laugh, cry, call a counselor, or buy another parenting book.

    Oh, Erin, I laughed so hard. Like, slapped the desk several times hard.

    I read it to Danny but he couldn't understand a word I was saying because I got all squeaky with laughter. I cried laughing and that has not happened for a long time. Thanks!!
