11 hour booth day is over and Sam is now in Chicago with me. Did another Google video chat with Lawrence and Hazel - this time no tears! :)

I woke up this morning with a sore ankle and missing my little girl SO much. It is going to be a LONG day in the booth :( Can't wait for Sam

I just did Gmail video chat with Lawrence & Hazel & it was SO hard to say good-bye! When she was waving to me to say bye-bye it melted me :(

Just got pathetically spare changed on Michigan by a young man trying on the puppy dog eyes. I am from Oakland - you gotta try a LOT harder!

Just finished setting up the booth=hot & sweaty. No hotel pool :( SO, I ordered AMOS Rest for free http://ping.fm/vutSz hummmm

It is Chicago day-packing is almost done. I am looking forward to the ME time. Hazel is hanging with Lawrence's family today-she'll have fun

R.I.P. Fred. My neighbor, friend, fellow board member, loving/dependable cat sitter, and all around great guy. You will be missed! :(

Had a mini-melt down yesterday when I saw Hazel's picture on my laptop. I am going to miss that little poopers! Hopefully no more tears :(

Countdown to Chicago! Leaving in T-3. Charter School Conference anyone? DSC will be there with a booth. 1st time away from Hazel overnight.

Ahhhh, we both slept in a bit this morning until 7:15am - heaven! What is the deal with CoTweet? It is still down this morning...annoying!

I quite possibly had the worst night of sleep in my life. I think anxiety about going to Chicago on Sunday kicked in and I could not sleep!

Ahhh, coffee: Coles, Ritual, Blue Bottle, Remedy, Four Barrel, Peet's, and even sometimes Startbucks, if I am desperate. It is what fuels me

Finally woke up with less pressure in my head! Hope it stays that way and that Hazel doesn't suffer like I did. :)

My head feels like it is in a vice. Let the head cold flow or at least let the Tylenol and Mucinex take effect. In between totally sucks! :(

Hazel went back to sleep after her usual 5:30AM wake up until almost 8AM! I am not feeling too hot, maybe she is the same. Sam also sick :(

Hazel and I just had a refreshing dip in our pool. I think this is the second or third time I have ever used our pool-first time with Hazel!

Yeah, not feeling great this morning. Not sure if it was the 5:30AM baby wake up or allergies or I am coming down with a cold-time will tell

Wow - warmer weather today, huh? Bring it! :)

I am looking forward to the seasonable warmth today. It is about time! :)

Friday is our 6th anniversary! Hazel = daycare and we are going to SF: Ritual Coffee -> City Beer Store -> Pizzaria Delfina = can't wait :)

Stayed up too late watching The Last Picture Show special features and this morning I am paying the price. They were good... but ouch! :(

I am still in denial that the weekend is over. Good news that it is Wednesday though! :)

SO glad the weekend is here! ;)

Hear baby stirring at 4 but she settled on her own. Then she cried at 5:30AM, I gave her some milk & she went back down until almost 7:30 :)

Feeling recharged, ready for action, and positively positive! Bring it on - I can change the world. Look out to do list - you are toast! ;)

Free day=no work & baby in daycare! Nap, walk, movie, another walk, lunch, coffee, beer?, relax... ;)
