I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

Funny how the word migraine is similar in English and Spanish. All bosses should know when to say you’ve done enough for today. Most will probably not tell you to stop working.

This is a perfect word this week! I have it nailed! My daughters best friend didn’t go to school today because she had a migraine. Whoo hoo! She is going to think I am so smart!
