Journals

Stress Is Over!

Tonight I got my haircut (very relaxing for me), and then went to Toys R Us where I was able to COMPLETE my Christmas shopping, at least the stuff I am responsible for. (I can’t speak for my husband.) It was amazing that I found everything I was looking for…exactly what I wanted…some even “on…
