I was writing down birthdays and so forth in my "special occasions" book earlier today. At the back of the book was a section on Chinese astrology. I think I figured out why I never feel like I'm in control around here. My hubby and my daughter are both roosters. I'm a rat. I think they're slowly pecking away at my sanity. Dang roosters. Got to love them though.
