My little dude is on “vacation” with his g-parents this week, a blessing for his tired folks, and fun (hopefully) for him and the grandparents. Before the trip, I was chatting with my mom about his “issues”. Like how he […]
I watched vegucated the other day. It is always a bad move when I do stuff like that. Hubby gets all stressed out, and I lie in bed, tossing and turning over the fact that my …
Repeat after me. . . " I am made for leaps of faith and taking risks" Yes - dammit. We are. It seems every day I have the same conversation come up. The ole "I was too nervous/awkward", …
