Mom had surgery on her broken arm that refuses to heal. They put three pins in and she stayed over two nights. I feel like a bad daughter because I couldn’t go and visit her or help out.

Friday night my boyfriend left from work to meet...

It was fine, we met all the people that would be working on him and they seemed nice, doc said he probably...

Well, i’m sinning, my son is not. I left a 10 year career in management to come to law school and things are really looking up for our little family. We’ve got a fantastic plan for the...
