Random thoughts

It is officially back to X and me.
Very Happy
Had a fun time with M, D, and W
but now just
X and me

I guess my challenge in life is to have 3 step children who hate everything I love
Fruit
exercise Sports
and
fruit
and fresh vegetables
and did I mention FRUIT

I make sure to feed Xander extra helpings of fruit
because he is not hating fruit.
He can't
