How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

The One Word Challenge

in Everyday on 12/15/14

It’s Sunday night, and I truly did have some deep thoughts planned to write and share today, but real life got in the way.  SassyNephew came to stay for one night full of giggles and bliss, and then a migraine took me down hard; ruining the remainder of my weekend.  I’m currently wallowing in “to do” lists and guilt.  You know who never gets a day off?  Mama’s and Bloggers.  So today I bring to you a throw back, a one word challenge and I dare you to play along! 

Don’t overthink, just copy and paste and fill in your own answers.  Oversharing is completely optional and absolutely encouraged.
