First day of school tomorrow…

Kinda sad because it’s been such a crappy summer for the family. Now, I’ll have homework buddies to study with though.  And the kids won’t be parked in front of the TV or X-Box constantly. May be a good thing!

1 down, 3-1/2 to go…

Posted on August 11, 2010 by molly

OK, so my mom’s been here for 24 hours and we have yet to delve into the family politics, criticisms or rooting for information to later be used against me.  I didn’t abuse any mind-altering substances to get through the day.  … finish reading 1 down, 3-1/2 to go…
