So for our first writing prompt, take a few minutes and write about this: Which would you rather do: ask for permission or ask for forgiveness? This is the…

*Phew* what a summer!  That’s all I can say. Today was back to school day, and I was so excited!  I was gonna do THIS and was gonna do THAT.  That was until I decided to take a little nappypoo.  I mean, heck, I’d only had 2 hours of sleep.  I was tired.  So, I climbed back in bed and gave the MR implicit instructions that I was to be awakened no later then 9 am.  I had things to do today.  Dammit.
