Wordy Wednesday

Some one asked me what I do all day now that I only have one child at home. Really, I wanted to come up with some snarky comment, but I was too dumb-founded that they would actually ask me that question. I said something about still having lots of laundry and cleaning and cooking to do, but then their comment stayed with me all day today. It is now after 9pm and I am just sitting down with "nothing" to do and I thought I would recap the day...

I'm exhausted just reading that. You are amazing!

Basically ended up being a compromise...we have legal grounds to demand that they provide transportaion, but just didn't want to fight that battle. So we share the job. When it comes to Judson, there is no one to share with...I won't be liking that then.
