Where have I been?

general, Uncategorized
Where have I been? Life has been a little crazy around my household.    As I've mentioned before I work full-time outside the home and then I get home and do my best to take care of my family.  My daughter is now active toddler who wants "Mommy" and "Daddy"  constantly in the evening and since she gets a good nap time during the day her bedtime has been extended to 8:00/9:00.  After getting her to bed, it is pretty much time to go to sleep myself so my blog has been neglected, even my email and my reading up on deals.
