Off Again
Sigh. Just as I get back to running again. I get a cold and I haven’t run in 3 days. Meh. I think I’m better now but still not great. Hopefully I can sleep tonight. Last night I don’t think I slept at all. But thanks to my WDH braving the early morning weather to [...]

This is something I’ve been meaning to blog about! But first I had to make sure it was okie-dokie to do so. Barb over at Harmony Fine Arts has chosen us to test drive her completely revamped art and music appreciation program for the Medieval and Renaissance time period. How cool is that?!? Okay, so [...]

The Pokey Little Puppy and the Cranky Mommy
Today was good though I’m feeling truely awful and cranky. I was however finally able to do some things with Jessie I’ve been meaning to for some time. So not a total disaster… just a cranky mommy. With Jessie, I started some activities centered around the book “The Pokey Little Puppy.” I found them at [...]

Mixed Bag
…Beware: rambling post… Like the pic? We went ice skating with friends on Friday. It was soooo packed. Lots of fun though! Did a little computer house-cleaning (deleting) yesterday… discovered today that there were at least a couple files I REALLY needed in all that. Yes, I emptied the trash can. Specifically, a bruise juice [...]
