C is Home – for Now
We had a lovely weekend with C home. We cuddled, and he caught up on sleep. The organizer stood me up, letting me know 40 minutes after she was supposed to arrive that she wasn't coming.

Homemaking While Exhausted
Today I had to cancel a photoshoot and miss OCIA. I am exhausted and don't feel well. I slept 15 hours a day two days in a row. Then yesterday we were out all afternoon getting the oil changed in our vehicles. My husband put me to bed at 6:30 or so because I could … Continue reading Homemaking While Exhausted
