Last night, I didn’t post about gratitude. I didn’t feel it. I was worn out from lots of housework, only to find that the hose from the washing machine fell to the floor during a load yesterday causing the laundry room to be soaking wet. Not. Fun. As I cleaned up the mess at 10:15 […]
Gratefulness; Day 5 – Walking
Tonight I’ll make it short and sleep. I’m grateful that Ben can finally walk so people will stop worrying about him. He’s a late walker, but so was Jack. Here’s a video I put on YouTube, but I can’t seem to imbed it on this page from my phone. I guess technology’s not all there […]

Stomach’s are starting to growl, minds are tired, and tempers are short. I would be making food, snapping and […]
