I love spending time with Mom. I love spending time with Dad. Same with my little brother… My parents’ house is very comfortable, and it is a very lovely place to spend time at. But leaving my own home without notice, and being away from it for a week comes with its load of frustrations.…… Continue reading A dang break, please!
