Not long ago I was ‘lucky’ enough to be embroiled in some Mama Drama. I’m about the least dramatic, open book, comfortable with confrontation, honest kinda gal you could ever bump into. A mom stirred up some drama, I was open and honest with all parties involved and it boiled over. The timing was bad, I was quite pregnant and in no mood for the junior high school type antics that were flying. I felt hurt, sad, disappointed.

ME: Married with two wee ones. Well traveled and fed. I like the park and all slides no matter what shape or height they may be. Hanging at the library or a museum is always a good time.

My skill as a runner will also pay off when your children make a B line for the street or ice cream truck on the other side of the park. The way to my heart? A cold beer, kiddie pool and some good conversation.
