Today is the first day of February. While that means we still have cold, yucky winter weather (and often can be the worst month of it), it also means that it is one month closer to spring and nicer weather. It’s the upside of it all.

Phoebe went back to school today after being home sick three days last week. Boy, the homework she brought home makes me wish I had been able to pick it up on Friday…somehow. It would have been so much easier to work through it leisurely (somewhat) over the weekend, rather than crammed in between the weekday activities.

Tonight is Phoebe’s ballet class. Fortunately, that is it… for tonight.
