I have you down for charging the crafters each day. From there, who knows! I tend to charge in patterns, such as charging all the black/expensive locations one day and then charging locations NOT in the middle another day. I never really know who wants what to be charged so I tend to spread it around. I get 9 charges per friend right now and hope that number will increase as I level up so I can charge more locations when I visit.

Hope things are at least the tiniest bit better at home. I grew up in the days of The Brady Bunch and shows like that where all you had to do was let your kid feel the guilt of their own behavior, and they came around on their own. Umm.. not with my kids!

I've learned to accept that no matter what I do or how well I teach them about life, they are going to make their own mistakes, some of which have been very painful to me. But it is their lives. I made mistakes when young, as well (okay, not the same kind, but still), and I've somehow managed to survive through them so I try my best to keep in mind that whatever's going on now will change as they get older and wiser.

The other thing I learned is that from the very moment of conception, a mother will always want the best for her child and will never stop worrying about that child. It will be with us until our final day (and probably after that, too!). I guess the only bright spot in it all is that it shows us just how much we truly do love our kids no matter what.

Best wishes for a better day today. ❤️
