"This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England . . ."
It’s 6 a.m. on Friday, June 24th, and I’ve just awakened to the news that Great Britain voted to leave the European Union. Things might change between now and publication time, but as of this moment, Brexit is real, and it’s a shocker. They said it wouldn’t happen. (You know . . . they. Them. The ones who know.)
One of the best things about having an only child? When your kid’s in a chatty mood, she has no one to chat with but you.
(I know you young moms are scratching your heads, thinking, “What? How is this a good thing?” But trust me when I tell you – teenagers are far less forthcoming than toddlers. You will learn to value talkiness one day.)
