Yesterday was just insane!

It shouldn't have been. It didn't start out that way. It started, as all great days do, with pondering the remains in the frig, and the stockpile, and creating a meal plan in my head.

DH had wanted to finish off the roast the day before, for lunch, but he wanted fresh bread, and I hadn't made any. I had made a quart of gravy with the roast, so I assumed there was quite a bit left, and he could have the roast on bread and gravy and I could...

Well, this could also be titled Wives, how to lose friends while your DH finds BFFs

My husband is smart. He doesn't just have a high IQ, or a list of professional accomplishments, or a job that rocks the world. No, DH is smarter than that.

Well, goodness, I didn't think I'd be blogging again. Life has been a bit wild this year. Sharing personal info has been painful, and really, so little time to spend on words when the emotions have been flowing.
