daily two cents

It’s always weird how time has a way of making you feel. How sometimes something feels like just yesterday and it was years ago. Yet other times a short time feels like a long time. These feelings are especially strong when you are talking about your times with your young kids. I barely can remember my life without kids, yet […]

Blogging is definitely therapy for me. Just unloading all the words alleviates some of the stress I go through. Yesterday could have been a very expensive therapy session.

Disclaimer: I realize I’m anal retentive In true parental ritual, shoes were purchased at the beginning of the school year. These shoes were important to me because you look at them for quite awhile on your kids.

I know the day will come in the not too distant future when I am cooped up inside the house with sick kids and haven’t seen daylight in way too long and I will yearn for the chance to be back amongst the working folk. But today I’m too wrapped up in the thrill I have for being a stay […]
