There's no one wandering through the house crying loudly.just to hear himself echo in the foyer. No one racing up the stairs and chasing an imaginary toy across the room. Hope that works, was e...

Adventures in Multi-Tasking: The Secret is out!
http://irishmama23.blogspot.com/2008/10/secret-is-out.html
Me and Chaos. We're good friends. Thursday, October 9, 2008. The Secret is out! They know its me. Here I thought it was a well kept secret all this time. I figured it all out this morning when my husband let it slip, he called me the Laundry Fairy. And here I thought they really did think a fairy came in our house and washed, dried, folded and put away all their clothes. Wow, I'm supposed to be the Laundry Fairy! October 16, 2008 at 12:20 PM. I love your posts, so yes, a post please :). Good Mom - Bad Mom.
