AWE-some
YaYa was out of school this week. Unfortunately, the private schools and public schools have not realized the importance of aligning their vacation schedules. I ended up, without childcare, and had no other option but to take him with me to work ALL WEEK LONG.
It could have been hellacious, but he really did a great job of behaving himself and allowed me to do my work. I set him up in an office equipped with my laptop and an connection to Club Penguin. He also brought along a collection of other items to keep him busy. It must have looked like we were moving in each morning when we arrived.
The day started off with him either finishing up his homework, reading for 30 minutes, or working with his math facts (flash cards). After that, he was free to hit the other stuff. At lunch, we either grabbed a bite to eat at restaurant or played basketball in the parking lot.

Show me the love
I was finally afforded enough down time to totally clear out my backlog of posts in google reader. I will admit, I have fallen behind in reading my collection of RSS feeds. The number of blogs I am now following has grown out of control. While I admit that FB has taken up a good portion of my time, I swear that I can scan the status updates in minutes and am done with it (until my next check in).
While catching up on my reading I came across Runner Susan’s recent post accusing me (and YOU) for cheating on her with FB. She makes a good point. I have to agree that I too have not been feeling the love lately. If it wasn’t for seeing the number of visitors showing up on my statcounter, I would guess that only 2-5 people visit my site my site per day.
And while I realize that many of you also read my posts via your own feed reader, I thrive on your feedback. Please leave a comment to show your love. Also, don’t forget to stop by Runner Susan’s blog and show her the love too. She really does give good blog — the best even.
