I hope you will pardon the light posting around here. Our baby gate broke, and we don’t want to replace it when our youngest child is already 2.5 years old and nearly human, so I am spending my days following him around, huge dark circles under my eyes, saying, “No, no, Henry, get off the counter. No, honey, don’t splash in the cat water. OMG PUT THAT DOWN!!!” My morning writing time, which I used to accomplish by putting on the television, is GONE.<\/p>\n
