August 7, 2013 spookymilk 45 Comments

My schedule works out so I have half of this eight-day stretch off. Been working on the app stuff. I wish I had more of the shameless self-promoter in me...I'm trying to find someone who fights those battles.

August 6, 2013: Finally at Home

August 6, 2013 spookymilk 89 Comments

I've had my regular number of days off and everything, but between the girls being on a long vacation, our housesitting gig and my schedule, this is the first full day I'll have with my kids in our own house in about three weeks. Good thing we got it, too, since school starts in six days.
