Austen Famous Rodey

There are days Mama feels like a failure because she can't get Austen to nap or sleep, although it's clear she's tired and/or hungry. Much yelling (on Austen's part) and frustration are involved. Today, Mama and Austen missed out on a birthday playdate. Major bummer.

In college, Mama and her friends called each other by "Loser" nicknames ("Meiwah Loser," "Cinda Loser," etc.) in a benevolent effort to take the pressure off when it came to grades and academic success. "Might as well forget about getting an A!" Maybe Mama will start calling herself "Mommy Loser."
