Friday, October 24th 2008
It's been such a busy week I haven't had much time to sit down at the computer or watch TV. I have been doing chores, cooking dinner, running errands, going to the gym, taking the dog to the vet, and even went for my quarterly appointment with my diabetic doctor today. Wednesday, I played chauffeur to my daughter whose husband took her car keys to work with him and left her stranded ! I got the rescue call, " Mom, can you pick me up and take me to work ?
