I was up today at 4 a.m. so I had time to take a shower and do a couple things before I had to leave the house at 5:30 a.m. with Number 5 and Number 7 for a swim meet. It’s been pretty much nonstop since then, aside from 3 – 4:15 pm when I …Read More

Two big things happened today. First, we got our internet back tonight.
