It’s amazing how time flies. It feels like I can’t even remember being pregnant with my monkey, but I do remember…
…running a 10k then realizing the very next day, our anniversary, that I was pregnant. I should have known then that she’d be an independent and spirited little runner.
…going to the store to [...]
When will we as parents, and Type A people like me, learn that any plan you make is a guarantee that things will not go that way?
Yesterday was supposed to be Allie’s first day at her new preschool. No more day care for that big girl. She’s 18 months now, time to get to [...]
Hi, my name is Jess and I live in sick house.
The girls are sick.
Again.

I lied.
I said I’d be running rain or shine. That was before the skies opened up on Dallas and began pouring like there was a need to apologize for the horrible drought Texas has in. It rained. And rained. And rained. Hard.
I laid everything out the night before, the way I [...]
Mom,
I wish you could come up here for the weekend. We could take the girls to a museum, shop, eat. Maybe I could take you for a mani/pedi like you did for my birthday the first year I was away at law school.
Allie is getting so big. I know you’d love her. Of [...]
