I had three, count ‘em, three baby showers when [...]

Bible study was so much fun today.  We laugh and learn… and then laugh some more.

I’ve always been able to operate with inadequate sleep.  Not only did I sleep for few hours each night, I slept restlessly.  And when I wasn’t restless, the kids were often making visits to my room in the middle of the night.  Needless to say, they aren’t good sleepers either.  Never have been. I frequently [...]
