on March 18th, 2010 by handcollated

For the past eight days I’ve been stuck at home taking care of one or both of my sick children. While it has been nice to spend some extra time with them, it would have been so much better if they hadn’t been sick and the time off of work had been planned. [...]

Simple, [...]

The Only Time I Will Ever Buy A Football Card…
