Urinary Tract Infection for the Bear and why won't the cat eat? *10/11 UPDATE*

So all this fever business got us worried enough to pay a visit to the good Dr. yesterday. They took a urine sample and with a phone call at 6:45am today, we learned that it came back positive (which is a negative thing – weird.) She has a urinary tract […]

The bear came down with a fever last night. I had to make a run to the market for Children’s Tylenol after discovering the meltaways and the liquid had expired in April and August respectively. I went with the bubblegum flavor meltaway and Strawberry liquid (a girl has to have […]

Homework for Parents

Kids do school work in class, parents leave remarks online. I love this idea. In response to parents bitching about extra work in their lives – Yeah, we’re all busy. Get over yourself and get involved in your child’s education/life. They deserve it and who knows, you may learn something […]

Parent's Night Out

The Bear & Mouse’s school held it’s annual Parent’s Night Out on Friday. Essentially, the school turns into an after-hours babysitting club/pizza party, thus providing parents 3.5 hours of free time for a mere $20 a kid/$10 for each additional (on par with local in-home babysitting rates). We made reservations […]

In a Perfect World, OWTK would be at the SteveSongs show right now

Instead, we are at dance class. Somehow, both the Mrs. and I neglected to remember our new weekly scheduled obligation and therefore did not consider it’s timing – that being at the exact same time as the SteveSongs event a couple dozen miles away in Philly. Had we two been […]
