This is a post just because. Just because someone did something that benefited them in no particular way but added happiness to my day. Just because someone took a little bit of trouble so I could do something non-critical and non-urgent and insignificant to everyone else but relevant and significant for me. Just because. And...

Travails of a mom to a rapidly growing kindergarten kid. Life will never be the same again.
The Lure of The Terrible- Part Deux
I am ready to be included in the pantheon of martyrs now. I watched Sharknado. And am glad that I did because it is the MOTHER of all BAD movies.
