Yes, we just went to Colorado a month ago, but that was with the kids. This is the two of us, three days – BY OURSELVES. I can wear whatever I want and not worry if it’s compatible with grape juice, or... text/html 2010-09-09T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.1mother2another.com http://www.1mother2another.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1301&Itemid=46 Open gym is OPEN. To badly paraphrase Browning, “The lark’s on the wing, the snail’s on his thorn, open gym’s open, all’s right with the world.” Yep, Cora and I cracked that bad boy open like a rotten nut crumbling under a sledgehammer yesterday.

I know it looks as if I’ve spent all my energy on Maddie, and certainly I’ve been working hard with her getting settled into her new way of life.... text/html 2010-09-03T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.1mother2another.com http://www.1mother2another.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1298&Itemid=46 Cora spent Wednesday morning vomiting – her usual MO, you know, when she’s got strep throat.
