Oh my readers, I have missed you all so!  Life has been uneventful in times when I was free to write and completely jam-packed when I had no time to write, add to that 2 bouts of pneumonia and well…I am now able to write something!  I am so happy to be writing today!!!!!

I woke up this morning upset that sleeping in for me is only sleeping in until 7am.  Then, I quickly realized this time 9 years ago, I was getting myself ready for my first day of work after having my first child.
I remember not being nervous about leaving him as I was only working part [...]
