I AM WOMAN!

I AM WOMAN!

When you feel the need to whine about all that is going on around you, just remember, we are women…wired differently…able to multi-task by birthright…unfortunate for men, the poor dears, they just are not designed to handle doing several different jobs all at once!  (OK, be gentle in the comments) My life as a peaceful…
