I have never cried about daycare.

Until yesterday. Twice.

Ava’s been in daycare since she was 2 years old. That is four whole years ago. Allie started daycare when she was 3 1/2 months old. It’s been fine. To say their daycares were different…well that would be an understatement. No matter though, because I . . . → Read More: Rock + Hard Place = Jess

waiting at the doctor--formality since Dr Mom correctly diagnosed us but can't write prescriptions.

And by that title, I’m referring to time home with sick kiddos–not sick mommy. All I need to say if you’re home sick by yourself is try and take a nap in between that load of laundry and washing dishes.

fifty six.

Mom,

I wish you could come up here for the weekend. We could take the girls to a museum, shop, eat. Maybe I could take you for a mani/pedi like you did for my birthday the first year I was away at law school.
