FINALLY FRIDAY
TGIF!!
It's Friday the 13th. Not only is my favorite day of the week, but good things seem to happen to me on Friday the 13th. My daughter was born on Friday the 13th.
We are all feeling better, my husband is home (still working out of town during the week) and this weekend is suppose to be warm and sunny.
After being sick for so long, I have so many things I need to do at home. I am hoping I can at least get half of my to do list done.
Have a great weekend and I'll see you Monday!

ROAD TO RECOVERY ....
Well, after 12 days of sickness in my house I do believe we are on the road to recovery (keeping my fingers crossed). I am at work today and Payton is at school.
Thanks to everyone for their emails of concern. I am glad to know that I was missed.
I hope I can get back to blogging as normal. I have missed it.
Have a great day!
