One Sentence A Day: October 2021

I'm linking up with all the One Sentence A Day bloggers. October can be summed up in this way: Just about every week one of our kids had an appointment regarding their teeth, our car was in the shop almost every week, and Friday nights are when I crash. Doesn't this all make you want to read more?!?!?

As always, I'm linking up with Rebecca Jo and the other Sentence A Day bloggers. You can see Rebecca Jo's blog here.

18 - Monday -- I had a massage, the kids made supper -- it was a good day!
