Regression Depression

May 25, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 16 Comments

Are we there yet? Are you there yet? OMG. Driving lessons for my younger son. Lately he’s so, um… distracted. He’s got a pile of school work, SAT prep classes, piano, art, tennis, after hours tutorials, and… yep, the girl. Give me pause. And strength. Or extra strength Tylenol.
