What’s up with tween daughters these days? Their emotions are all over the place! One minute I’m getting, “Oh Mom, you’re the best!” and a nanosecond later they’re acting like an out of control grizzly bear. Mommies In Orbit would love to have a jet pack. Yes, really, just for those times when I need to get away quickly before the tween howling begins.

So if Channel Chick is just entering her tween years, then how many years will it take for her to complete an elliptical orbit? I don’t have a clue, but I do know that by the time she comes out of it, I will be certifiably crazy.
