Good Thing I’m a Chained-At-Home-Mom

So the dryer thing.
I had to call Sears to come out and fix my dryer. HAD to. I needed dry clothes, and I needed them yesterday. So I called, and the lovely customer service people told me they would come out the next day, and an automated message service would call me to tell me [...]

What We Have Here, Is A Failure To Communicate

I don’t let my 12 year old watch the cool shows like Family Guy, American Dad, and anything on Adult Swim.
