After a trip to the nearest K-mart for a test, (and a can of spaghetti-o's, I know, that sounds disgusting, but they sounded good at the time) I went back home to do the test.

Sarah thank-you for playing along! I'm glad to go down memory lane with you. I wish I would have known you better back then so we I could've been there for you. I know how the "surprise" is and I'm amazed everyday at what an incredible mother you are! I always forget how small little Hannah was. I still can't believe they let her come home so soon. You went through so much after she was born. You are such a strong lady!
ReplyDeleteSarah I love it! It is always fun to learn more about you, and well your 3 day drug habits!!!! :)
