Ridgeback Specialty or insane asylum? You decide.

Tuesday, September 23, 2008

Just lock me in a padded cell.  Please.  Because the enormity of my decision to leave the kids with hubby while attending the annual Ridgeback Specialty is starting to sink in.  And the deeper it sinks, the more obvious it becomes that I have utterly and completely lost my mind.

Wednesday, September 3, 2008
