    Yesterday, my Hubby was out of town for the day/night for a conference and the kids were all pretty much occupied.  While we started out the day with a parade and me volunteering to chaperone the Middle School band, followed by lunch with my oldest girl and then slowly delivering kids to friends….I found myself
