There are a couple of times a year that our already hectic schedule gets shot into overdrive. Early spring is one of those times of year, especially when the “perfect storm” of sports schedules (i.e. some sports starting before others end), and, various school performances come into play.
Especially as the kids get older, I often […]
I’m still here, and, my middle child is still sick. We’re going to the doctor today.
You may also notice that I’m not at work right now. The work I really, really, really can’t afford to miss for the past couple of days. Yes, that work.
