Joy in the mornings
So it looks like 4am is my new morning time. It's been pretty consistent for a couple of weeks now. I tried to make myself stay in bed till 5am the other day and ended up dozing off and on till almost 6am and I'll tell ya, my mood was OFF. I wasn't cranky but... Continue Reading →

Lightning Strikes!

When we got home and were unloading the car, I noticed that there was stuff on the floor and... Continue Reading →
