coffee_con_leche_marfis_75_160_x_140.jpgTHE MONDAY MEMO: Betty Style

We're still reeling from having them home for MLK weekend.  When child #1, sitting 3 seconds from the kitchen requested "water with three ice cubes please," military school flashed through our mind as a viable option....military school in Reykjavik.

So yes, there are lots of responsibility-related things on the list this week....and a few things to mark "for me, me, me! damn it!"
