Our son is currently enjoying his last few days of a trip to Europe! He is over in Europe (Greece, Sicily & Italy) as a Student Ambassador with a group called People to People. It is 'supposed' to be a meaningful trip that gives the kids exposure to things like culture, leadership... blah, blah, blah! It's more like a touring trip with a bunch of misbehaved brats and leaders who don't know how to keep control!!!

Could I please have something go right?????? We are trying (emphasize TRYING) to have an addition put onto our house.
