ROOT-SLIDER

Breakfast is kind of a joke this morning. I accidentally put the orange juice in the pantry after pouring Beans a glass, then I can’t find it when I want it. Berry woke up early too, so my total hour-count of sleep was less than four. She is sitting in her high chair gurgling happily…

I mean sure, there was the random Power Ranger’s card, from that certain boy, that COULD mean he’s totally in love with you.
