Recently in the news Postal workers nationwide are being told they might be laid off. Many Postal Facilities will be closing and mail delivery will no longer be done on Saturdays. I've heard that there could be up to 35,000 layoffs. (Don't quote me though) That's means thousands more in the unemployment lines across the US.

If your wondering where I am!

I am over here on Blogger, because facebook isn't being nice this morning! Good morning everyone. I was just sitting here thinking there are only so many hours in a day to accomplish everything we want and need to do. I don't know about you, but I always seem to have a list a mile long. There's always that housework and laundry. There's shopping and yardwork. Not to mention work, fb, family, friends, and trying to squeeze in some exercise and taking care of ourselves. So today I will try and accomplish what I can and tomorrow.....well we will see what today brings! Have a beautiful day everyone. Today I will....Will you?
