I saw a house near the wood
Fresh, clean, new
It spoke to me of the woman I could be

The babies are 5 weeks and one day old today. It’s getting about time for mom to turn off the gravy train and make ‘em eat, and I gotta tell ya, I’ve been pretty curious about how she’s gonna handle the potty training. They’ve never been out of the house, and I don’t want her [...]

This morning I was awakened by a telemarketer from some baby website that I APPARENTLY REGISTERED for, since I am due in June. The fat virgin queen of North America is gonna have a baby. Riiiiiight.
