November 1, 2006 | 3 Comments

So how did everyone’s Halloween go? Ours went well. The weather was fantastic for trick-or-treating in Vermont. Normally it’s in the high 30’s if we’re lucky, windy and rainy. But last night we didn’t even need coats. So of course we significantly expanded our radius

Wasted Weekend

October 30, 2006 | 4 Comments

Have you ever had one of those weekends where you have such big plans going into it and then once you’re there - nothing. No energy, no motivation, no results. That was my weekend and now I feel disappointed. I had so much I wanted to accomplish and now I feel like I let myself [...]

Today is my last day doing daycare. Sure there will still be some of the same children coming to my house but I won’t be here with them all day. I’m ready. I’m not overly excited - I’m not sad. It just feels right. It’s time for a change. The self-doubt has lifted. I’m ready [...]
