Today has been absolutely exhausting! I got to run to Sam's by myself this morning to pick up a few essentials while D stayed around with the kids before heading into the office. I love being able to buy two pounds of organic strawberries for just under $5! What a…

Five things.
Here are five random (but wonderfully satisfying) things I did today: Vacuumed and clean the floors (I have to tell ya', I absolutely LOVE that feeling!) I even moved the couches and such around and was amazed – and appalled – at what I discovered. Apparently, someone was trying to…

I am SO not the teacher type.
Not that there's anything wrong with the teacher type. I am just not it. And, I am reminded of it all this week since I volunteered to help out with our church's Vacation Bible School program. What I signed up for (I thought) was Bible Theatre, which was explained to…
