Mom deserves to win because she’s been doing double everything since my stepdad became sick.
Is this over already? The submit button won’t work for me.
My family deserves the Season of Surprises, because I haven’t had a raise in going on four years, and my husband isn’t appreciated at his workplace either.
I tried to enter but I could not submit.
What gives? The sweepstakes form won’t submit.
entry form not working 4 me:(
Sorry the form messed up late last night. I have entered all of you into the spreadsheet and you are eligible. Hopefully the others are working now as well.
