It was a beautiful day today so I went for a long walk with my daughter today. We went to the new pharmacy, CVS. I figured I would introduce her to the pharmicist so he would have an idea what all the crazy meds are about. He came out from the back and I introduced
Understand that the 1 on 1 aide that my daughter has at day camp is the same twit nanny that I fired a few weeks ago from the house. I really figured that with all the others around she could only do a good job. Also know that the camp director’s sister lives with him
