I am currently enjoying some Naproxen to help the pain of what my doctor has determined to be tendinitis (or something). So, I can do a few more things these days and have stopped wearing my wrist brace all the time, except when I’m doing things that really aggrevate it.
It’s amazing at the number of [...]
Today during my drum lesson Madeline was playing with my student’s younger brother. Normally they have lots of fun (too much sometimes), but today was not one of those days. Madeline had just woken up a few minutes before they’d arrived, and I was on the phone when she woke up, and then I had [...]
At least when you’re pregnant or nursing your hormones are high but they are consistently high. But this whole having your hormones shift from week to week is crazy! Happy one second. Crying the next. I don’t know how women handle it. I guess since I’ve been either pregnant or nursing since April of 2002, [...]

Every month you want the biggest paycheck as possible, and you hate to see all of those deductions coming off your cheque.
At tax time you want to have the least amount of income and the most deductions as possible.
