Timeliness

I've always said, when mom is cold, everyone needs a sweater, when mom is tired, we all need a nap, and when mom is irregular... Well, never mind.

I have not been posting in as timely a fashion as I have wanted. Too much goes on around here, and it seems that the more I hurry the worse it gets. We need less of the irregular and more timeliness.

Today I put it off for a good reason, though. We stopped at the vet's office to give Taia a hug. She needed it.
