Life wasn`t meant to be easy ( whoever coined that phrase must have had a hard life !) congrats on the new baby. - actually I just looked up that it was George Bernard Shaw who coined that phrase ( from the Oxford Dictionary of quotations. )
Congratulations on the new baby, the happy sons and (I hope) to you on having students who can tell the difference between what they have studied and what they haven't. (If they didn't notice it was the wrong test, my condolences!). Best wishes to your sister and mother, and happy sewing to you!
Yes, congrats on the baby! We'll be here when your life settles down and you come back. :)
What a crazy three days! Congratulations on Miss Heidi! Such a blessing.
I am dizzy from reading it all and can just imagine how you must feel. I hope your roller coaster slows down soon but you know you've been brought to the top with the birth of your little angel.
Congratulations on new granddaughter! Prayers and sympathy for relatives' health issues. Enjoy as much of this glorious autumn as you can.
