My dad just sent me this funny forward. (thanks, Dad!) Some of these are sad, but true! It’s amazing how things have even changed from MY childhood….which was…twentysomething years ago!!!

Less than a week ago, Baby D knocked our laptop off of the couch. (Where it shouldn’t have been in the first place, I know….)

Today (January 24th) is National Peanut Butter Day! (yeah, I had no idea either, until I read it on Facebook and went to verify it!)
