I have been getting daily devotions from EFT for over a year, and I don't know what possessed me (actually I think I do) to click on your name under your devotion title.  To say I was shocked that a whole world lived behind that name is an understatement!  I had never seen a blog page before (which is really sad since I am a teacher at a technology magnet school!)&lt;BR/&gt;Anyway, I'm hooked.  I put your blog on a favorites page, then clicked on all the women writing for EFT and added their blogs, got more blogs off your blog, and... blah blah blah.  It's like that shampoo commercial "And they'll tell two friends, and so on and so on..."&lt;BR/&gt;Now my cup runneth over!!  I do love curling up at the end of the day to see what's new with all of you!&lt;BR/&gt;As for your day off tomorrow, enjoy it!!  What a great letter, and an even more fabulous response from your hubby!&lt;BR/&gt;I'm a mother of 5 (his, mine, ours) ranging in age from 20 to 7 months.  I fed him green beans for the first time the other day, and he threw up all over.
