- getting 5 out of 5 ISV environments running
-being past the hump in the week
-a toddler that says “yeah” when you ask him if he knows you love him

I am learning that part of motherhood is giving your child the chocolate topping off a Hostess cupcake because he likes it, even though its your favorite part.
I have been looking at all kinds of children’s horse stuff online. Alex loves loves loves going on the ponies and I wanted to get an idea […]

I think I have been to every car manufacturer website in the last week. I have found a bunch I like, some I don’t. I like the Chrysler 300 accessory list almost as much as I like the car. Granted its out of my price range but its sure fun to think […]

I had my first “maintenance emergency” tonight. I was running the bath for Alex when the hot water handle came off. The plumbing here is old fashioned and there is a knob for hot and a separate one for cold. The one for hot came off completely and water came shooting out of the wall […]
