Sometimes I write about the total nonsense that happens on a daily basis, and today we have a mystery in the house. It all started with a little piece of poop on the rug. It was small, like cat poo size. We have a cat and a dog and figured it could have been either. Then a few days later, there was a piece of poo stuck on the corner of the stairs. The cat doesn’t usually go down the stairs, so we blamed the dog. He has long butt hair and gets the occasional dingleberry. We thought maybe it…
Today we’ll be covering one of life’s great mysteries- how to make the bed with a toddler around. A very interested toddler who may or may not be making lumps all up in your covers.

We can’t play with the skateboard “because it’s resting,” the playground was closed today for some strange reason and we are Seriously all out of cookies. This is just the tip of the iceberg of fabricated stories from today. I’m starting to wonder, what will I do when he begins to question me? Will I break? Will I become an evil mastermind of toddler manipulation? I’m optimistically leaning toward…
