The stomach bug hit our house this weekend. I was in bed all day Saturday recovering. Daniel took the kids to his parents while I stayed home slurping gatorade and nibbling toast. It was nice to have a nap without the kids being my alarm…

I don’t normally choose a word theme for the year. A few weeks ago while reading my twitter feed I read a tweet that proclaimed that 2010 was the year of something. I don’t even remember what it was. I just remember I immediately thought…
