$$: No Spend Day & Some Deep Thoughts
What a blessing a licensed 16-yo can be! I sent The Son and The Daughter off together to church this morning. It was nice to know I could skip church without putting any additional stress on The Husband. The Daughter got herself and her brother to chuch and home again — and filled up the [...]
