Writer's Block: You Wouldn't Understand
Gak! I made it up to express disgust and to avoid using a cuss word in front of my kids. -
Score!
For some reason, all the kids are getting out early, even though there is no ice on the ground yet. All of my clients except one canceled (all are after school kids) so I rescheduled the one, and I am at home snuggling with the dog. -
A new year
It's been over a year since I posted in LJ. I have a permanent account, so I think my journal was just waiting for me to come out of the weirdness I've been in for a long time.

However, the Company rep said he could meet me later instead AND that he could give me an extra AED to give to our Mexico mission. He made my weekend. Because instead of driving an hour midway between Dallas and Fort Worth, I went to lunch and to go see ( Read more... )
