What I Did With My Functional Hour

My accomplishments for today:

• Ordered my son about as he took down our Halloween decorations and switched out laundry (because he’s a good helper, but an angry little helper)
• Re-pinked my hair
• Had a cup of coffee. I take mine white (all cream!!!!)
• Had a heart to heart with the boy

It’s hard for me to accept this sometimes. I want so badly for everyone to like me.
