Being in the know

I have never been quite sure how I feel about Spring. When the children were all in school and all of the sports were going on I definitely had a love/hate relationship. We were unbelievably busy in the Spring with so many children and activities going on, and that was me limiting each child to one activity at a time.

Head games

Wasn’t it just yesterday I stated that I hoped her vacation wasn’t in the same place as ours? Of course, honestly, I should have known that she would be in the same place.
