An update on my family: everything worked out swimmingly. My husband made it home from Afghanistan and ten days later I gave birth to a darling little girl. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect turn of events. But...

Homecomings and Root Canals: A Very Bad Combination

My husband finally made it home. I had only a few hours notice so, of course, the panic ensued. So did a raging toothache. There is nothing worse than a toothache. You can't eat solid food, you can't smile, you...

Bedroom Lottery, Anyone?

Mil-brats
