*Dealing with sick kids and stress* Well, the new year is off to a chaotic start. I have missed the first 2 days back to work because Whitney is home sick. She has missed her first 2 days back to school. Oh oh oh the makeup work. Add to the sick daughter the enormous amount of stress of coping with expenses and budgets and trying to pay for it all.

With a joyfulness, I have prayed for peace. So, I hope everyone of my readers ((all 2 or you!!)) try out this ice cream recipe with me. Stay tuned for more on the Philadelphia Story.
