But I Just HAD A Vacation!
Tags: Parenting, vacation, work
For the second time in a week, I forgot where I put something and then forgot what I was looking for, while looking for whatever it was that I lost. I need a vacation to recover from my vacation.

Our daughter is extremely active. We learned very early that sugar for her was a really bad idea.
