I'm really happy to have my college age kids home!  As much as I want them near me, I was dreading the tornado that was sure to accompany their return. But believe it or not, I came in this morning from the gym to find a clean kitchen.. and now they are organizing their college bins and belongings in the basement until August when they leave again...  #proud. I need to get my job done now and get them materials for the CLEP & DSST exams they plan to take this summer, so they can get to studying.   I wish they had taken more of them during their high school years, but they just weren't ready.   Well, they're ready now!

My brother also pointed out that I am going gray... he seemed surprised.  I guess it is coming on fast. I think the reason I am going gray so quickly, is that I recently had quite a bit of hair fall out due to stress, and probably medication, and now it is growing back, but it is no longer dark brown... It is white.  It is around the circumference of my head, and in the center, where I lost the most hair...  and the grays are not confined to my head. So what's the big deal.  I will be 46 years old in less than 2 months.  With the average onset of graying in black persons being age 44 , I'd say I was pretty much on schedule.  ... and I kind of like it. I am appalled that I have been asked to dye my hair... it makes me really really mad.  Am I out of line for thinking that r...
