I meant to get this out earlier today, but I had chiropractor appointments for all of our children plus me. Then we came home and watched an old black and white movie – so nice that my girls are into those now. Then I had to pick my husband up from work, and we had to go to the mall to get some shopping done. I hate shopping. My husband loves it. If it means a time with my husband then I can tolerate it. Otherwise, I’m more than happy to leave the shopping to him.
