The problem with graduating from medical school is that when my stomach hurts and I don’t vomit or poop my brains out, I think: I have abdominal fullness.

The kids didn’t feel well at the beginning of the week so the fact that I got anything done earns me the medal of honor, valor and awesome-sauceness.

Who Does These Dishes? Photo

I haven’t had to take out the recycling in years, and Scott doesn’t know where the broom is.  After having kids, we divvied up the household chores and haven’t thought much about it since.

Late Enough Converse Kicks photo

Blogging paid off big time for Christmas include this new pair of kicks that Scott designed to replace my falling-apart-from-love yellow Converse I bought in 1998.
