Let the games begin! (I need the distraction)
Ah summer, when my day job gets so intense that I have no brain left to drive home let alone write a blog post! Also, whose idea was it to have my kid jam a one year online math class into not even three months? As if Mr Lazy & Unmotivated was going to... Continue Reading →
