Lesson For The Day
Good Morning,I would like to send out a sincere “Thank you.” To the woman who felt the need to flip me the bird this morning while I was taking my three children to school.Now, I know it was difficult for you to see the small impressionable little seven year old sitting behind me in my vehicle, with the tinted windows and all, but she was there, and became very curious with your quick finger gesture and the interesting face you made.Please understand I did not use my blinker to indicate I was turning right onto the street in which you were sitting for a few reasons. I know they do not excuse my lack of a

I would take her directly to her school as well but she really enjoys riding the bus with her friends.However, on this particular day, hubby, who was being so thoughtful, chose to take the big kids to school for me, so I could walk with my first grader to the bus stop.We had a few minu
