Take Two

Posted on May 31, 2007 by Carrie

Why am I tired?

Posted on May 30, 2007 by Carrie

Let me count the ways. Got up and ran this morning at 5:45 AM. (Had a running buddy this time, another woman from the family club, which made it nice.) It was a nice day, so I decided to take … Continue reading →

Sleepwalker

Posted on May 29, 2007 by Carrie

More “big kid” questions! Sam sleepwalks. We can tell when he’s “not really there,” though he’s moving and his eyes are open, because he doesn’t respond to us (or does so incorrectly – wandering to the bathroom when we tell … Continue reading →

Posted on May 22, 2007 by Carrie
