As our school days are numbered, there is a sadness that is settling over me that is reminiscent to the last two years of Drew’s education. Just before Drew turned two, we switched schools.

I’m having one of those days where it feels like the world is out to get me. Of course I’m dramatic and despite the fact that I can realize it, it doesn’t change my mood. So I decided to take a walk down memory lane to help put in perspective how good I really have it. Unfortunately the blog that […]

Today was a special day. Not special in the unique sorta way but special in the happiness I experienced. The funny part is that it was an absolutely ordinary day but that was the amazing part about it. Someone asked me recently if I miss my job. I loved my job. I’m not sure I could have liked a job […]
