Feedback Junkie
I'm a feedback junkie. Which is unfortunate, because I'm a mom. Moms don't usually get much feedback, except when things go wrong.

Why is it, that creating good habits requires a lot of hard work, while picking up bad habits is as easy as pie?! Or ice cream in my case? It only took one Saturday! All it took was one Saturday. One Saturday when I ate a whole tub of icecream. And wouldn't you know...
Have that feeling many days--Schools only a MONTH away!!! Even my daughter is ready to go back WOW!
You get "me" back full-time once the kids head to college! Then, you'll miss "THEM." I hope you'll remember YOU once in a while between now and then. 🙂
I miss me too!! Love it! With God's grace, wishing you peace and many blessings to you and yours!
Wow. It's crazy how time flies, kids are all over the place one minute and the next they're gone. Right now, I'm right where you are. I"m wondering where RHonda went. But I know my days will come and I'll be tearing up, looking around, wondering what to do with myself!!! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Funny! There are times like now, when I'm so glad I am an empty nester:)
