The Latest Journey

Normally, I get a new planner and it’s the best day of the year. Right behind Christmas. It takes me weeks to find the right planner, and I’ll admit that this isn’t the first year I’ve purchased a new planner mid-year because the first one and I didn’t jive so well together.

The hubs and I have been splitting up a lot lately. Not permanently. More like a "divide and conquer" situation. I am so thankful for his stay/work at home abilities because 90% of the time he is doing something for the kids. Lunch. School. Dance and Tae Kwon Do chauffeuring. This week I was in town at an appointment at the same time the fam was in town. (Town is 45 minutes from home, for perspective.) He'd just picked up LM from dance and was on the way to pick up LH. "Can you pick LH up ... VIEW POST
