Thanks for Being a Considerate Driver

It has been awhile since I have driven in rush hour traffic.  My work affords me the luxury of working at home, or in places on non-busy roads 10 minutes from home.  This morning, I took the carpool of kids to high school, and thought about how much trust we put in other people every [...]

I Miss You Mama!
