Day 2367. Tuesday is the day I don't teach in the morning under normal circumstances which means it's the morning I can sleep in - unless I have anything else going on, like today. Even though I needed sleep bad, I had to get up at 8:30 am again. First I get up at 6:45 to fill the kids' snack boxes for school, ...

Day 2366. As usual, Randy left with Tammy and Emmy at 7 am to take them to school. But after that nothing was as usual. At 7:15 am I got up again to get Sammy dressed in his snowsuit. He had lots of layers of clothes on as it was going to be a cold and snowy day. He was very excited about going skiing and was very talkative.

Day 2365. Last night was unusual in that Tammy and Emmy both came into our bed but didn't stay long. Today I had to get up even earlier than usual, and I got up before my alarm went off as the kids woke me up. At 9:30 am we left the house together, i.e. Tammy, Emmy and I. We took the subway downtown, then walked to their music school.
