Wogging the Mini
We're training for a half-marathon with our girls. Boy, has it been hard to drag ourselves out and log the miles. Thursday it was all we could do to make it out and back again for a total of 3.8 miles. And I can't call that outing a run; for that matter, it wasn't even a jog. Part walk/part jog ... I believe we went on a "wog." At any rate, this is our second year training … [Read more...]

The Lecture: Healthy or Harsh?
Three of my kids take piano lessons from the same teacher, so they take turns going first. They determined the order themselves several months ago. I thought it was all settled. It shouldn’t be difficult to maintain who goes first, second and third, right?At the start of a recent lesson, they argued.“You go first.”“I went first last week.”“No, you didn’t!”“Yes, I did!”The … [Read more...]

Because, you see, my kids picked up the flu.(This is a big reason I've been rather quiet here on the blog—I've been attending to sick kids.)But kids pick up other stuff, too, … [Read more...]
