My poor husband has to carry too much of the load.

LOL! I was dating that guy but not anymore. I am just too wild of a woman to want to settle down like he did. I am also hoping to find a younger, hotter, Barack Obama in D.C. when I go this Fall. I am glad your daughter is doing amazing in school. She sounds really amazing (like her mother). The garden sounds neat too. I always have loved flowers. I grew up with azaleas and tulips, peas and okra growing in my aunt's yard. Pretty flowers and fresh veggies&fruits are always a spirit builder:) Hahah, I am glad you got your truck;) I wonder why is it that in the Summer your Fibro isn't that bad? Anyways, I am happy you are feeling better. This summer I have been catching up on my blog, finalizing plans with my agency in D.C., and working part time. Have a wonderful 4th of July weekend Mrs. Russell. God Bless, Gabby
