I tried to get her to wear something cute for these photos. She resists. Meredith: Mommy, why are you in the bed? Me: because I’m exhausted, you guys have worn me out today. I just want to hide for awhile. Meredith: you want to play hide and seek? Me: no I just want to play hide. Meredith: how do you play hide? Me: I go hide and you two leave me alone for awhile.

Me: what was that? Meredith: the chair say dangit. during a discussion about how she is going to go to a different school when she is old enough for kindergarten… Meredith: and Imma get BIG boobs and get milk in them and I’m gonna feed my baby!
