I Cut My Finger

Yes. I did. It’s the pad of my middle finger on my right hand. It means that it is taking me forever to type this post. It hurt so bad when I did it, too. I was trying to grasp the safe part of the food processor blade and reached a little too far and [...]

Back to School Baby!

The words “Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, [I am] free at last” keep ringing in my head like a song I can’t stop singing. I’ve finished my last deadline AND it’s the first day of school AND Josh went to the office today so I’m home alone with baby. Earlier, I [...]
