This is what makes it all worth while
So last week I was worn out with the extra work that unexpected messes bring.  Today I'm tired but happy about it. Yesterday, Jon left very early to go on the church men's retreat.  Our morning at home started out pretty badly (bickering/fighting) and the boys had to go run around... (More)
