Kate, would she be content if you put books or something else quiet near her crib? I used to do that with my kids, and it sometimes worked for a little while.
That would be worth a try, Amy. She's so used to one of us coming in when she wakes up, though, that it might take her a while to figure out that there are other things she can do when she wakes up, especially when it's still pitch-black out (like this morning).
Really, I think we need to get her a little more used to doing stuff on her own even when we're awake. (That's one of the downsides of being a working parent, to me: I feel like I "owe" her all my time on the weekends because I don't spend weekdays with her, so when she's home, she's usually doing something with either M or me, and doesn't spend as much time amusing herself as she could.)
Why would tenured faculty not get offices?? That's very weird. And why do you have to do this guys dirty work?
Joy. Now I've been instructed to deal with the tenured faculty. Dude, do your own dirty work.
Sparky, that's unbelievable. Ugh.
I just mapped a 1 mile walk in my neighborhood and i think I am taking the dog on a walk when I get home. The goal is to be able to jog a couple of miles on the road in a couple of weeks.

This is interesting -- I just heard a thing about a study that shows that children of middle-class working parents today spend more time with their parents than children of middle-class housewives did in the 50s/60s. (I'm also interested in the switch from housewife to SAHM, which tells sort of the same story...) Granted, that includes older children than yours!
So, the tenured faculty will not have offices at all? That seems odd. We have a formula here to determine if you get an office, a shared (2 person office) or a group office, and I am pretty sure tenure gets you an office WITH a meeting area in it.
haven't we previously established that Sparky's workplace is somewhat wakkadoodle?
so one of the houses near me that was for sale is now for rent. $1350/month which I figure 2 of you all could split easily AND BE MY NEIGHBORS!!
In my made up world everyone can work from home or just move their job.
But seriously, 3 BR, 2 Bath for $1350 AND ME!!!
