Are You an Early Bird or a Night Owl?

When I was in college, I’d regularly complain about 8:00 am classes. “It’s so early!” I’d whine while trudging through the snow across the quad. Thank goodness for cinnamon hot chocolate to get my butt out of bed or else I’m sure I would have failed all my classes…or at least the ones during the…

She’ll run through the mud playing fetch with Chris, and she’ll dig in the wet sandbox at the park with me. Our beige carpet has become quite speckled…
