Tired
My big girl and my little girl are sick, sick, sick today. Mahli was up most of the night with a sore throat that wouldn't let her sleep and a fever that had her shaking all over - so I was up all night too. Doctor today - no strep - he prescribed lots of hot showers - she's psyched (well as psyched as she can be with glassy eyes and a temp that ( Read more... ) -
Flow
Yoga this morning was so very nice. The instructor put together a series of flowing movements to honor the changing of season, the breaking up of ice, the emergence of spring. There are big windows in the practice room that overlook Lake Quinsigammond, which was very active with waves created by the wind. Yummy movements, positive thoughts - I'm ( Read more... ) -

Upcoming Features

And the winner is...
Super Bowl Question of the Night goes to
Anyssa: Why do they all have puffy sleeves?
With runners up
Vivienne: So football is like a combination of running, throwing, and wrestling?
Mahli: How come no girls are playing? (usually I'm pretty good with girl-power answers but all I had for this one was - "because those men are really big") -
In Charge
We were reading tonight about big horn sheep in one of the kid's nature zines. After reading the page about the day-long head butting sessions among the males to decide who is boss, Vivienne said, "If I was a big horn sheep, I would want to be a female." So I asked if she thought all that head butting would hurt. She says, "I don't know, but ( Read more... ) -
