Motherhood certainly is a wild ride for me ~ and I know I’m not the only one. Wine is cheaper than anti-depressants and therapy, so: CHEERS!!
I’m enjoying a delicious glass of Mad Housewife Merlot my thoughtful husband was kind enough to give me today. Okay, maybe I’ll have two glasses…
I hope you had a delightful Mother’s Day!
From one crazy mom to the next ~ HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!

Wow I haven’t had Mad Housewife in a long time!! I used to love that wine… Hmmm. Maybe I’ll go get some and enjoy a glass, or 3, after I ditch these kids at bedtime! There should be a rule that a mother is allowed a glass of wine for every kid she has at the end of the night… Without judgment!
I like you a lot, Cara! Too bad you don’t live closer…
