My apologies...

Apparently there were several typos and punctuation errors in my previous post.

If for some reason you thought I was talking about World War II instead of the Wii game system, like my husband insisted he did, I apologize. While I sometimes feel I am in the middle of a war zone—destroyed house, people yelling, Nerf darts flying—I assure you, I was in fact talking about Carter’s love for playing Wii, not creating war.

Also, if you were as embarrassed for me when you noticed the misuse of an apostrophe in the word sisters, as I was when I reread the post after John mentioned the above mistake, please take this as my admittance to imperfection. The misuse of apostrophes is one of my BIGGEST punctuation pet peeves, and I can’t believe I publicly committed the error!! (I also am quite disappointed that my sister has not called me out on this!) After rereading the same essay over and over again, my eyes see what my brain thinks they should see.

While these errors have been fixed, I will try my best to keep them from happening again. Between being pulled in four directions, packing lunches, dropping off at preschool and speech, doctors and dentist appointments, working and trying to be the best mommy I can be, I think I can handle a little imperfection every now and then…Right?

P.S. Please don’t let me know if there were any more terrible errors. I’ve already admitted to two today thus meeting my quota for the day!!
