{*crazy like having a tiger walk right in front of my kids} man this going down to 3 days a week with childcare thing is challenging.  my little ones are almost 2 and becoming busier, more active and more daring as the days pass. which means one eye on them while trying to read/answer emails and convos.  here is a quick run down of happenings since my last post. thursday - the little ones & i stood with my big ones at the bus stop. waved goodbye. when we arrived in our garage to go inside the house, my little ones had other plans, they wanted to go for a walk & climbed in the baby jogger.  we walked to a local coffee shop as the rain clouds kept nearing, we ordered & headed back home, after a couple blocks, i realized i left my coffee on the table since i needed both hands to get the stroller & i out the door since the handful of patrons didn't offer assistance.  headed back. one child now sleeping. we walked a different way home s...
