I just put David down for a morning nap, which isn’t going to happen because it hasn’t happened in over a week…but mama still has hope…and a fussy baby. So we’re trying.

Sandy is the girl in the office who always has a candy bowl, and keeps her car neat. Sandy does not wreck havoc on the East Coast.

Watch out for Sandy.
