I love the fall – it brings a new school year (even though in Texas we begin in August and it’s still, usually, over 100 degrees!)…it brings new things to sign up for (classes, kids activities, opportunities at church and in the community) and usually some “new” clothes (can’t wait to wear the warm, comfy,… Continue reading It’s Fall Ya’ll

Living in a state of Exhaustion… Ever notice that when you are REALLY tired – everything seems like a MUCH bigger deal. Even when I know I’m tried (and grumpy) – I don’t want to admit it or recognize it…until it’s too late.
