Hi! I survived the Hollywood Half marathon yesterday! This was the main achievement of my weekend, and I had a lovely time running the race. I did have a terrible period after the race where I was short of breath and having heart palpitations…

1- Last night the kids slept over at our nanny’s house and it was truly glorious. I really really needed the one-night palate cleanser. Josh and I ordered Indian takeout and pretended to be empty nesters. It was FUN. I am very very happy…

My 12 day stretch at home with the kids. Complete with manifesto. IT’S OVER! I SURVIVED! I enjoyed parts of it. I wouldn’t say I had an overall fantastic experience, though, and I never really want to do it again. And I don’t think…

I looked back at last year and was very disappointed to find NO yearly goals post whatsoever. I suppose that with our move and a 1 year old, things were just too hectic. I have high hopes that this year is going to be…

Yesterday was . . . a day. I’ve just rewritten that first sentence 5 times because truly, it was a rather lonely and boring day. But I feel a little bad about admitting that. We got rained out at the playground. I ruined G’s…

I believe I mentioned previously that this was our ‘good’ weather season. However, the past several days have been rainy and gray. COME ON SOUTH FLORIDA WEATHER! Yesterday we hit YAA, and I suspect we may be going back there because it’s the easiest…

So here we go. The hard part. 7 days off. Josh at work during day and on call at night for 6 of them (he’s working a ‘regular day’ Monday but not on call that night). We have on the schedule: 3 daytime playdates…
