Every so often, after a new blog goes up, I’ll open up my inbox to find several well-meaning friends have sent me a link to some shamefully funny mom rant. Apparently a levity alarm sounds when I’m reaching DEFCON 1. Last week was one such week (read about it here). So, in honor of Thanksgiving, this week I thought I’d share a little toddler-mom humor to get you through the holiday (and perhaps even the next year or two):
