Happy Mother's Day all you mothers out there! I went to bed late last night, with two Benadryl. Holy crap does that stuff knock me out. I had planned to be up early to work on some school work...

http://youtu.be/f1IWIc-encw 700 Sundays Rocky to start the day, as is every Friday. I don't like drinking coffee after noon, but on school nights it is necessary. The problem is the hamster o...
