Week in Review

Time to bring back Mom's Tolerability Index.

Only 4 boxes of Franzia?

It's been one helluva week and I'm so glad it's over. There were so many ups and downs, some days felt like the best day ever -- and also the worst imaginable -- all within a 24-hour span.

Some of our low-lights include:

• Mad Dog's 3-day bout with the runs.
• The death of a beloved grade school teacher of mine.
• Super stressful workdays and overscheduled weeknights.
• Crowbar's insomnia.
• Crowbar's constant whining and crying (from said insomnia).
• Computer problems that make it impossible to check Facebook without the whole system crashing.

Some of our highlights include:

• The best reports we've ever gotten at Mad Dog and The Deuce's parent teacher conferences.
• News that Crowbar has finally stopped spitting at daycare. (Woo hoo!)
• A hard-won "atta-girl" from a senior VP at work.
• Pride (for the first time in a long time) in my check book balance.
• Reconnecting with a few friends from high school.

So it should be no surprise that we broke out a couple boxes of wine this week, alternately drowning sorrows and toasting accomplishments.

Here's to the weekend!
