As I was driving to the doctor’s office this morning, I was thinking about the WEEK that we’ve had at our house. It started last Monday with Reese’s 2nd degree burn, then progressed to Twizzler’s strep on Wednesday, Reese’s strep and ear infection on Thursday, my Cough (with a capital C) over the weekend, and…

Day 4 — I voted!
I voted! Have you? Did you have a long line like this? It was pretty funny–there were no lines at all at the polls, but when we got to Krispy Kreme doughnuts to get our free voting treat, there was a line out the door! Apple was thrilled to get doughnuts two days in a…
