Cheyenne missed a day of school this past Wednesday because she was not feeling well. It is a rare occasion when that happens. She is not a fan of missing school. I am not sure who her family is as I am sure she was switched at birth. All three of my other children would [...]

Was it the wafting aroma of VapoRub?
I am not sure exactly what it was that sent Mike out in the middle of the night on his mission. It could have been the wafting aroma of VapoRub or the robust choruses of coughing that were occurring every few minutes - or perhaps a combination of the two. Whatever the reason, off he [...]
