The Candy Tax

Welcome to the Children's Republic of Mom.  It's not so much a republic, as a...Momocracy.  Here there is a tax of a sweeter variety.  You never know when your time will come to pay taxes, and you don't know how much.  Here, I sit on my throne of wrappers and laugh when they all go to school.

Thank You Cards

I am a grateful person. I do appreciate when nice things are done for me. I do however, have a "beef" with thank you cards (TYC). Generally, kind acts of service are extended to help one out when one needs help. If one needs help, why do we put that person under all the added stress to give us TYC? It makes me crazy.
