By: Sheila Gaudet I’m writing this in the lingering “leftover hangover” of the holidays, thinking that I should be at the store making a few exchanges and cleaning up some Christmas mess. Honestly though, my kids are off visiting their fathers and my house is quiet so I’m drinking coffee in my pajamas instead. We … More “Thank You” Notes
