Our third hoorah in the home on wheels and by far the longest. We are 8 days in and still chugging along.

“You don’t know how lucky you are!”

Oh, but I do. See, I chose this. All of it. It’s mine! So many times people have told me I don’t know how lucky I am, referring to my wonderful husband. (Husband, not hubby, husband). I cringe at these naysayers. I call them naysayers because as nice a compliment it might sound I take offense.Continue reading ““You don’t know how lucky you are!””

Sounds ridiculous, I know, but today was the first day without my husband that I ventured out for errands with all five of the kids. On. my. own!
