ok, things could be worse. i KNOW that people have it worse out there…but i have found that i tend to feel better about bad situations once i vent about them…so here goes… sighDEEP BREATH ok so i mentioned before how adam got a 10% pay cut, right? well, now

i have so much that needs to be done (always), and so of course i’m procrastinating and blogging instead. i really need a maid. 🙂 my kids are singing “happy birthday to you” right now because i just said that it was my friend beckie‘s birthday. and now they are
