Time For Cydney and I To Go Our Separate Ways

Cydney has been on the daddy daycare plan since she’s been back with me the last two years. It’s the inexpensive route because with the peanuts that I make spending close to $800 a month just doesn’t cut it around here. It’s time for Cydney and I to do something different. I do the best […]
