Rocky, rocky road.....with the younger one....will skip some details here, but Dan and I balancing work deadlines between supervising homework and flash cards, confiscating chewing gum before school, bringing P. to weekly 8 a.m. chess class, [thank goodness Dan did that one], after-school activities etc. You can see the tiredness in our eyes. We look and feel defeated and flattened sometimes. There isn't enough coffee--or, for that matter, chocolate--in the world.

MONEY THOUGHTS: I'm trying to be money-conscious. I was happy we could eat the fresh ravioli, sauce and frozen broccoli I bought days ago at Whole Foods so didn't have to spend money on dinner. Yesterday, we were running around between therapy appt and Family Fitness Night @school--ran out of time to cook.
