waiting in perpetuity…

Thursday, November 19, 2009 No Comments

or so it seems some days…
like dear honey pictured here, somedays i find it’s as though i’m actually waiting for something to happen.  not exactly proactive particularly on the heels of a night disturbed by dreams of blatant fiscal irresponsibility… and monkeys.  not exactly a good omen.

mouths of babes…

Sunday, August 9, 2009 No Comments

the babe may be only 10 and a 1/2, but he is full of wisdom beyond his years.  he has informed me that our (his parents) lives are lacking balance… all work and no family time.
as work-at-home parents, we sort of take for granted that family time is all the time, being so available.  not [...]
