  6. Oh my!! I SHOULD do this because it would make me stop and truly think, but I don't have the time right at the moment. Lol Loved reading yours though! Can definitely identify with crawling under the covers and leaving one foot sticking out. Some nights I battle the covers to get that foot out!! LOL
    Hugs~
