Lol

Well, golly, thanks guys! But I had help! My DH is off two days a week (has been for two years now ... sigh) and I schedule my "cleaning times" on those days!!! Even though the money is tight with this cut back in hours, it's been a blessing to have him here with our ADHD, ODD DS7. We are "older" parents and we NEED each other during this season in life!!

Ok, more than you wanted to know! LOL
