Confession

So, tonight, after I laid Sean down for bed, I took the baby monitor (he's 17 months old), locked the back door, and walked around the corner for a soda at the convenience store. I guess I should fess up here that Danielle is on TAD (temporary assigned duty) several states away.

I was gone maybe three minutes, but on my way back around the corner I ran into someone I know from our breakfast place.

"Where's the baby?" she said.

"He's at home," I said.

"Where's home?" she asked, looking like she was about to light into me about my poor parenting.

"Around the corner," I said. Then I showed her the baby monitor, and she seemed appeased.

At no time was Sean in any danger, and I was never more than about a hundred yards from the house, but I know that this woman will walk into the diner at the bottom of the hill tomorrow morning and say, "Guess who I saw out last night without the baby."

Oh, the perils of living in a small town.

Ready or Not

Things are picking up a little bit in the forum.

This strikes me as an exciting and slightly precarious time for a new website. We're going to try to keep things rolling here, and keep the site interesting.

I got an e-mail today from Kim over at Kimbaland.com asking if it would be alright to link to the site. Of course! We appreciate every mention we get.You can help us by spreading the word about the site: link to it, tell other spouses about it. You can also help us by contributing in the forums.

Stay classy, and thanks for stopping by.
