There are days where it really appears that everyone else really DOES have it all together. And I'm the only one who didn't get a copy of "The Instruction Manual". Most of the time, I know that's not true - but it is nice to have someone prove that things slide at their house too.Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14617511846346575883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162868398041347638.post-37163138890009232222012-04-02T09:52:27.108-04:002012-04-02T09:52:27.108-04:00You are still an inspiration to us all-just a litt...You are still an inspiration to us all-just a little bit more human now!

You've helped me realize that a) some days are like that. & b) some <i>hours</i> are like that! Even if the kids were out w/ the babysitter until 5pm, by 6, the swirling chaos of dinner & homework still descends & we have to get through it & breathe.Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02111729173800005608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162868398041347638.post-42591277341215823982012-04-01T10:33:32.867-04:002012-04-01T10:33:32.867-04:00Love you, Katy.
