mom mother children
As a single mom, I'm juggling a lot and working long hours. Yes, it costs them a little, but what my children get in return is a mother who is energized and content.
mother baby elephants
Mother elephants in the circus cannot help their babies, but we can,
looks unconventional
I’m not sad about any of my life. It’s so unconventional. It doesn’t look anything like I thought it would.

Addiction has had such an impact on my life and the people I love, and there really is not a lot about it that is funny. So the last thing I wanted was to give the impression that it's all fun and games, and isn't it funny what she gets away with.
giving actors scripts

I've also learned to no longer feel guilty if I'm invited out and don't want to go.

people
