I Did It*
Today was a cool, grey day full of quarreling kids and not what we expected paint colours, but there was one big ray of sunshine for me: this post marks the completion of my goal to write every day this month. I technically started writing on the 2nd, and didn’t officially make it a goal (in writing) until after I watched Julie & Julia on the 3rd, so while I’m slightly bothered that I can’t say 30 posts in 30 days, I’m still pretty happy with 29. To be perfectly honest, I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. Whenever I set goals, I’m usually all gung-ho at…

Why are titles so hard?
I want so badly to be in bed right now, but I’m two posts away from completing my September writing goal and I can’t give up now. Today was such a busy day. I was tired from the get-go after a late night out with friends and I didn’t sleep well. I’ve officially reached that stage in life where I can’t eat late at night… and by late I mean like anytime after 8pm. I went to my friends’ house last night, and she made this amazing roasted vegetable soup with these perfect croissants and it was seriously divine. I asked for the recipe but she’s a way better cook…

This is not okay*
I had something happen this morning that has bothered me more than I care to admit. I don’t typically share my political views online at all. There are a whole host of reasons why I don’t, but it’s just something I tend to avoid. Once in a while though, I will read an article or opinion piece that I find interesting, and I’ll share it on Facebook. Sometimes I’ll add my two cents in, sometimes I won’t. But I share them hoping to engage in interesting, respectful discussion around both sides to an issue. Most of the time, that’s what happens and I walk away feeling like I’ve learned something.…

Decisions, Decisions*
After I wrote my last post, I spent an inordinate amount of time stressing about whether or not P really had Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease and whether or not I should call in and cancel my afternoon of work. It was the only day I had been booked this week, and after I put P down for his nap I began to worry that I had overreacted. That maybe it’s wasn’t really HFMD, and that I had imagined the blisters. Well, he woke up a hot mess and has several more blisters today, so it’s official. I couldn’t even get shoes on him this morning, he just cried and…

The Return of HFMD*
I only have time for a quick post today. Do you want to know what my last Google search was? I’ll tell you: “How to disinfect toys in bleach solution”. P was unwell on the weekend and had a bit of a runny nose and cold. As H also just had a cold, I assumed it was the same thing. Except when I went to change P just before lunch I noticed he had several blisters around his bum. I recognized them immediately and began looking at his hands and feet, which had a few tiny red bumps beginning to form. As I helped him eat his lunch, I noticed…
