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 [...]

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 [...]
