Well, now I know a whole lot more about you! That was fun.
My husband is the one who keeps me sane and balances me out too.
I hope in some way 2010 brings some healing with that family situation.
And money!!!
Wow! What a questionnaire! Oh yes, money is something none of us has enough of. I loved your answers although the problems with your family must be so painful.
Here's hoping for a great 2010!
I love this survey Tami and will post it on Wednesday! It looks like so much fun and what a way to tie 2009 into 2010!
Let's hope for a great job you can do from home in 2010!

I think that was my biggest lesson learned in 2009 too. "Don't sweat the small stuff." Now if only I can remember that for 2010!
Blessings!
