issues I wanted to talk about. My one co-worker overtook the
meeting and made it her very own arena to air her concerns. Once
I got home, laundry had to be done, dinner had to be made,
dishes washed and the little ones had to get to T-ball. Once home
I had to give them a bath. These days never seem to end. Busy,
busy day. I could go on and on….
y Body language
