Rescue Etiquette

Umm, hi… **nervously popping in…**
This would be my first attempt at guest blogging, so please be kind. I feel like I’m hosting a party at someone else’s house, so please, keep the food and beverages in the kitchen.
My name is RC and I am a work-outside-the-home mom. (Gosh that sounded kind-of like a confession…)
My home, where [...]

Why air travel sucks

1. Southwest airlines. Used to love ‘em now they are crackerfied.
2. Inconsistent verification. Took birth certificate with us to Houston - no one wanted to see it. So we didn’t bring it this time. Got lectured that we need to have it. Too bad, it’s 70 miles away from us.
