I hate Love in the Time of Cholera. Choose another book so that you don't waste your time.
Please note, involving your children in general household tasks does not necessarily lead to your enjoying said children more. In fact, it usually leads to the opposite.
Good luck with the goals...
Happy New Year!
I'll vote for playing with the Webkinz before Chutes and Ladders!
Lately Bossy keeps herself from making these type of lists - something about seeing failed goals all lined up always makes her feel like a New Year's Turd.
I just broke out in hives after seeing this post and recognizing where it came from. How could you!?
