When you have purchased  the 1000th set of pacifiers because your daughter thinks it's really funny to throw them out the door EVERY time the car door opens (they are pure silicon so they bounce)?
When you are singing 'Wiggles' songs in your head all day?

i would have to agree with stacy, ARIZONA is the answer. having said that i do get sad sometimes that my kids are not the age that ava is and that time has passed so quickly. they are so much fun now, but i still wonder where has the time gone and is it going to pass just as quickly to that dreaded teenage season? i am sorry you have had a rough day. if you move to AZ we could help on days like this. :) miss you loves!
