déjà vu

(Editor's Note: This post was originally composed on Monday, December 19. Writing had to be postponed* which accounts for any confusion as I refer to "today" as "Monday" when it is, now, Tuesday.

deja vu, me & you

My husband is a wonderful, wonderful man. He has no problem being silly with me. As a daddy, he is as sweet as sugar All in all, a keeper, he is. However, the man cannot surprise me.

A sweet, tutu buying Princess embracing good guy. And, this good guy ...

T.G.I.S.

I made it. I survived my first week back from maternity leave. Yes, I work part time, (and by part time, I mean 3 days a week, for quarter days, at that) but I can't say that I'm not thrilled to have my first week behind me and my little baby before me, as she sits here, sucking on her big ...
