Some Days...

...I'm not a very good mom. I don't empathize enough, I don't hug enough, I don't play with enough, I'm just not enough. I hate these days.
As I head to bed with thoughts of a new day tomorrow, I introduce you to new family members (if they survive all the manhandling)...

Meet Kathy the Katydid...

Fuzzybutt the caterpillar...

and of course you already know these little animals...
