I am looking forward to my time off which will be partly unpaid (unless I can convince my employer that adoptive mothers should get the same paid time off as biological mothers).<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the time with the family and stop breaking stuff!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00777368092602374814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25542320.post-1155148079618342542006-08-09T13:27:00.000-05:002006-08-09T13:27:00.000-05:00Way to use your time!

You know it won't last, so enjoy it while you can.<BR/><BR/>Horses are cool.<BR/><BR/>"Not much" domestic stuff? Hmph.
