Being ill has one advantage–plenty of time to do some thinking while recuperating. With the sleep deprivation and poor health, I’ve lost focus lately. I’ve tuned out somewhat from being present with my children. I’ve been going through the motions but have lost some of the joy in parenting. I intend on changing that. 1) [...]

I haven’t posted in a while…been in a bit of a funk. Sleep deprivation, maybe, is part of it. If I had known it was going to snow this much, I would have packed up and headed somewhere for a mini vacation. Off to bed.
