Best job in the world
I have the best job in the world and it is always the hardest job, and that is being a mother. I really think it is the best job because you have someone who loves you back unconditionally and wants to learn and do everything you know and do.

Procrastination and Work
I've recently decided to join "NaBloPoMo" blogroll and agreed to blog for a month using their prompts.

Relationships
As we all know, relationships are extremely hard especially if you work at them. Yes, that's right, I said they are hard when you work at/on them. Why?
