I’m awake, I’m awake

Posted on July 29, 2008 by Carrie

Little laughs

Posted on July 28, 2008 by Carrie

Calm(ish) Day

Posted on July 24, 2008 by Carrie

I had a decent run this morning; nice and quiet, not too hot outside. I haven’t felt “great” since the whole medical stuff started, and now I think we’re heading into That Time of the Month, so I have that … Continue reading →

What?

Posted on July 23, 2008 by Carrie

GABE: “Mom, does ‘advice’ start with the letter ‘i’?” ME: “No, the letter ‘a’.” GABE (wandering off, grumbling): “Then he was wrong! I knew it!” I have no idea or context. All part of trying to keep up with these … Continue reading →
