Rage against the machine
Reality bites
Monday, February 21st, 2011Today I dropped off the children at daycare and OOSH at a time early enough for them to have breakfast there. Next week when I return to work it will be even earlier. I will be that parent dropping her year one child off before seven am and then waiting outside the daycare centre until [...]
Overcoming inertia
Friday, September 24th, 2010Tell me……in an attempt to get back to blogging should I just force myself to do daily mini posts a la my Facebook updates or would it be better to attempt a massive update so that all those precious kidlet milestones aren’t lost?
