WRITE

          Last Sunday was a very busy day for me. First of all, I got up early to go to church for 7:30. After church, I went home and made lunch for my family. Then I went out grocery shopping at Superstore for two hours. After I got home and put all of the groceries away, I sat down and helped my kids with their homework for several hours. Clearly, my Sunday was exhausting.
