We can never manage to plan anything (even a simple family dinner) the kids always have some sort of school activity, cheer, sporting events etc. To make it even worse, one of our girls started dating this year so we like to be home when she leaves and gets home. In a nutshell, I embrace change whether I like it or not.<br /><br />As for the other kind of change (cute pic btw). My ten year old son empties my purse and my husbands pockets daily for loose change. He grabs it anytime he can find it and saves it for one year. He breaks open the bank each year for vacation. Last year he had over $400 in change. It does add up.Melissa Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16268333458796847721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-82732709493070061192011-10-30T18:39:11.579-04:002011-10-30T18:39:11.579-04:00hehehehe!

Adapt or fall behind, right? <br /><br />One thing change has taught me is that it can be a positive thing, leading me to grow in areas I wouldn't have guessed I needed to grow in. When change does knock the wind out of me, though, I remember that "this it the day the Lord hath made." That short sentence helps ease my fear of certain changes.<br /><br />Good question. :-)JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234966786590125696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-28266044052416163642011-10-28T18:20:34.471-04:002011-10-28T18:20:34.471-04:00Id say that i do it all for rock and roll, i alway...Id say that i do it all for rock and roll, i always wanted to say that folks,lol.
