It always seems like on weekends we are constantly passing this adorable, demanding baton back and forth.<BR/><BR/>But when I was at home full time I was totally a marathoner. Conserving energy and pacing myself was the only way to stay sane. Now that I work part time, we have to share the load a bit more and I have more energy for the sprints. <BR/><BR/>Love the analogy!clueless but hopeful mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011524864788495788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30354864.post-36637776694159749142008-08-16T20:41:00.000-07:002008-08-16T20:41:00.000-07:00I'm the marathoner and Matt the sprinter.
