    We went to make a new mug for Billy to replace the one Robin broke yesterday. Christina was NOT interested in helping, but she did finally add a few touches to it. Robin went to her first tumbling class at the new gym, taught by her old coach. He was great with her. I’m glad…

I’m having a disagreement at work that is stressing me out. Robin took one of my sodas, or at least I thought she did. I…
