Some of y’all love to be home. This is your time to shine. But for some of us? This is a time of severe spiraling. Personally, I like to keep busy. If I can get us out of the house six days a week, that’s just about perfect for me. I love my kids, but […]
These are dark, uncomfortable times, friends. This pandemic is something straight out of a horror movie, and I think the one thing we American’s can agree upon is that none of us common folk thought it would get this bad. Schools shut down, at first a for a few days to clean, now bordering on […]
