I have been asked the question of what did i do without pay for the years ( 2007- 2008 ) with a tender loving care service and atlc prep…. (usually aked by someone who is very obnoxious… and a very odd question… i guess they didn’t think i did anything…. well i did plenty…. and … usually i am asked this question by one of the girls trying to gain the title of “owning” my mother’s business…. owner of A Tender Loving Care Service” .. or who want to take credit for having done all the work so since my cousin told me to keep track of the hours…. i will just type up a summary of the house spent…. and the work done….
