It's the kind of morning where you slept on the couch because you tossed and turned for an hour before you decided to be kind to your Man who doesn't sleep when you don't and therefore, hasn't had a good night's sleep in months. And you wake up on the couch and realize you just [...]

Monday thankfuls.
...sitting with My Girl watching her baby brother (her "munchkin" who is 6'3") football. We took selfies; we laughed; we lamented on how very lucky we are, despite the tremendous loss and pain......puppy breath with puppy snuggles......feeling overwhelmed because we have All This Stuff......Bath & Body Works Gentle Foaming Hand Soap...in all the yummy Fall [...]

I Have been Grieving, Y’all.
