Married with kids: musings on Valentine’s day

When I posted this: Secondly, our kids.  We’re now having pleasantly cool weather which I’m enjoying.  But our kids had bouts of viral infections.  My girl even had to be brought to the hospital when she had benign febrile convulsions.  Thank goodness it’s over now but definitely not a good start to the year.  (from […]

Just a little out of sorts lately

January is the month of new beginnings. But in spite of my over-all optimism, I just can’t help feeling a bit jittery. First, finances.  December is really the month of big spending…and limited income.  You see, as self employed private doctors, we only get income when we have patients, and of course, there are less […]

Happy, but…

Sigh

So many things to do, so much that I really do not know what to do first. Shall I update my store first?  Or write the articles that are due?  Attend to kids?  Sleep? It’s so funny when I talk about it, but the reality is not as funny.  Sigh.  Maybe I just bit off […]
