    Friendship

    I always felt that I do not easily make friends.  Sure there were days on the playground when you were invited to play with a group and I remember having an epic day but lasting friendships did not result.  Over the years I connected with a person or two and developed some close relationships that always ended due to typical childhood drama and my lack of healthy relationships to mirror.  There were a couple of friendships that dissolved due to moving but looking back they probably would have self-destructed eventually.  So now that I am growing up I realize that I was always too giving to friendships for fear that…

While I feel I have a good system for all the stuff I feel there is a need for better organization for our chores.  I have tried printed chore list…
