Hello! Broadcasting live from yet ANOTHER sick day at our house, with both kids home, coughing and sneezing. Some folks might get frustrated that their plans (large and small) have to change for another day, so that they may look after their snotty offspring. But oh no. Not here. I feel lucky to be here, still in my pajamas ...
Two hands. Sometimes, having two hands feels sufficient. With two hands I can tickle my son until he squeals. With two hands I can give my daughter a relaxing face massage.

I am constantly bemoaning the fact that I can't get my son to watch any TV. He refuses. I am not looking for him to be television obsessed, but it would be nice if he could sit for 15 minutes and watch Elmo. At this age, my daughter would have spent 3 hours watching DJ Lance if ...
4:40 am wake up because I think I hear a noise outside. I go down to investigate. Twice. The mystery remains unsolved. 6:15 wake up to the sound of my daughter's voice. She had previously been instructed to play in her room upon waking until we come to get her (since the past few days have been ...
