I should be back to a regular schedule in another couple of days.  I’m still working 35 hours a week, taking care of the kid during the day, and I’ve been feeling a little under the weather.  But I’m starting to feel a little better now, and am pretty sure that we can handle...

OK, I dropped the ball after being bamboozled.  I had one heck of a headache yesterday, and took a day off from everything internet.  I did the same thing for most of today.  It was a nice break. Why was it so good to get away?  Perhaps it has something to do with watching...

It was a hard toddler head that inadvertendly hit my nose.  There was no nosebleed (although I kept checking, since my entire nose was numb), but I have one heck of a headache despite two tylenol.  I’m just hoping to make it through tutoring tonight, and will sleep this one off. Until tomorrow…

We’re going out-of-state this weekend to visit my husband’s family.  While I enjoy being there, I dread the 6-7 hour drive.  Our close friends from Arizona will be in town with their son, so it will be extra special! I can’t promise that I will be able to keep up with Entrecard drops or...

If you’ve been following some of my previous posts, you know that a recent source of stress in our lives has been finding a program for the kid for the next school year.  It seems like some good karma has come our way, and we found something that is a great fit. My kid...

We had a blast today – my husband took the day off, and we took the kid to Sesame Place.  I’ll write more tomorrow, but I give this place three thumbs up if you have little ones!
