A Little Of Both I Think

This morning all in less than an hour I received a text message, an email, and a phone call from MY DENTIST confirming my appointment for next week.
Either times are tough for him or he remembers what a chicken shit I am and thinks I am not coming in.

Over Protective?

 

 
Last night was the school dance. It was almost as hard dropping her off for that as it was for her first day of kindergarten.
(This is my dad. He looks like he is kidding but I am not sure so. If you don’t know, she is the best think since sliced [...]

A Penny For Your Thoughts

Its been a long month full of uncertainty around these parts, and it seems like everyday there was more and more getting piled on my plate. 
One of those things was a Penny Drive the kids have every year at school. I usually really look forward to it. The kids have a great time doing it [...]

Add Another Limb To The Family Tree

Grandma and Grandpa had 6 girls and 2 boys.
Girl #1 has 2 boys and 2 girls.
Girl [...]
