SoCS — Pay Your Way

Posted on August 13, 2016 by joey

I share my life with a man who thinks I am his ATM. You might read that wrong, because it’s not like he’s with me for my money. When we were first married, I’d keep cash in my wallet how … Continue reading →

SoCS — EXiting EXhaustion

Posted on August 6, 2016 by joey
