ugh, I felt like a horrible mom today. I got a call at 3:15pm from daycare yet I didn't get it or notice my red light on my work phone until about 3:45pm - she threw up 2x after her 2:30pm feeding, so they called.

I dashed the 35 miles to her daycare and snagged a 4:45pm appt at her pediatrician's office and luckily ended up with her own Dr, believe it or not! She is fine, but I was feeling pretty guilty on the drive to daycare and felt like a bad mom who didn't keep the cell phone stap… Continue

As soon as I was approaching the daycare this morning, I knew something was up. Around 3-4 firetrucks and 2 cop cars were parked outside and in the parking lot of Kindercare in Mansfield, MA.

Turns out there was a fear of a gas leak, so Sofia and I had to drive around for 20-30 min until it was ok for us to go back (everything was ok, we were cleared to go in).

In the meantime, I lost 30 min of my day but all is well that ends well. At work, I managed to sneak a 3 mile run in a… Continue

I just came back from a 3 mile run after being out of commission for about a week and half with a pulled right hamstring. I am soooo excited to report that I felt great and did more mileage than I thought I would do today. I just ran for the love of running and didn't care about my time.

I have a 5 mile race next Sat,… Continue

today was a good day, the first good one since I started work on Oct 3 - this time as a mom. we all got up early, got out the door early (for me thats leaving the house at 7:20am .. a total miracle) and even got to work early (8:20am). After I did some tasks and spoke with my PM, I decided to go for a 3 mile run at the gym at lunch. That was good, even managed to get back a little early for my mtg. Did some more work, another mtg, more work, then took off at 4:20p to go see my munchkin at daycar… Continue
