Rewrite
Do you ever have a day or moment you wish you could do over? A rewrite of sorts. You woke up late, a crick in your neck, your gas light is on, lost your marbles with your child who couldn’t find her shoes again. This is my life most of the time. Single mother, teacher,… Continue reading Rewrite
