Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! NO XMAS. JUST SAY NO!

Who died 5 years ago today.

I suppose the kids pick everything from school and bring it home. It's starting to get to me as I never seem on form enough to blast through the housework like I can normally do. I'm also a lot more tolerant and ( Read more... )
