Okay okay…I admit I have some issues with anxiety.  Trying to make the best decision for my kids can drive me crazy.  Even after making a final decision I worry that I have not done the right thing and wonder what if I had made the other choice.  Silly, I KNOW!!!  But, I just want… Read More »

I went to lunch today with fellow 918moms.com bloggers.  We were gathering to enjoy each good company and spread some holiday cheer.  I was looking forward to lunch with the ladies – I always learn so much from the other bloggers.
