Today, Anna and Tara made a concerted effort to demonstrate to me that all is not roses for the at-home parent. They were needy at exactly the same times, and Tara woke up at the exact time I was putting Anna to bed; shortly after Anna woke up, it was time to feed Tara and put her to bed. Mind, you, this was just an unfortunate matter of timing, without the additional complications of illness or whatnot.

As frustrating as it was, I really want to be able to handle the worst; after this week, Anna starts up school again, so things should get a little easier during the day, and I can start tackling some things around the house when Tara is napping. Today, I felt like the best I could accomplish was “limited regression.”

I did manage to get a little time to add the camera-phone sidebar you see to the left. If things go well tomorrow, I’ll add some EXIF parsing so you can at least see the date that the pictures were shot.
