So today went better…

Registration was this morning between 9:30-12:00. So this morning, I get up, dropped the baby off at daycare, came home, dressed and then cleaned my house.

So it begins

I went to a pre-orientation activity today, and met some of my classmates. It was a “service day” where we volunteer around Boston. Since, I am shy I thought that might be a good way to get to know people.
My classmates were shockingly young. I felt pensive and somewhat vulnerable talking to them. It’s always [...]

So after reading my last blog post, my wife comes up to me and expresses shock and dismay that I voted for George Bush. 
“It was the first George Bush,” I remind her.

Splashing around Boston

I had just about a perfect day today. I have a to-do list a mile long, but I decided that Tuesday was 100% little guy’s day.
So in the morning, we went to the local playground. He ran around with the dog, and then we had our morning nap. When he woke up, I feed him [...]

Quick update

Dropped off the baby at grandma’s. We were going to bring  him, but after he screamed all the way to Phoenix on the last flight, we decided to go sans baby. I miss him already!
I am getting even more neurotic too. When Jen suggested leaving the baby home, my first thought was, “Good idea. If [...]

Thinking about forgiveness

Is this a sudden conversion? No. But I am a practical girl, and right now, I need a Higher Power. Years [...]
