Well hello again! I was talking to my sister, who is due any day with her second baby. She was feeling that feeling that I personally had ...

This week... I am so so so so grumpy. Sorry.   Generally I've been getting grumpy around 5 pm and then something resets the next morning...

Sometime in the past year or so--when Theo started having regular homework--I changed one of his closets (he has 2 decent-sized ones)...

I had a rough week and decided, prompted by some very good advice, that I needed a time out. (And that possibly my family needed a time out ...

Five years ago I ran my first and only half marathon. 13.1 miles, that's the farthest I've run at one time. Actually I walked severa...

"That's seven months. Uh-oh, hello, five months! Five months, not much." Sorry, please excuse my inability to resist Martin Sh...
