Know any New Yorkers leaving the city any time between April 19-25? Know any cheapish hotels? Anyone wanting to see the Northampton area/foothills of the Berkshires? We're coming into town with a very good family friend to do some college tours and our usually home sweet city home is a little crowded for us now with friend and baby. Just 2 or 3 days we are looking for. Let me know if you can help us out. 

On another note. I want to emphatically state what everyone already knows. Being a working mom is so hard. I thought I was going to lose it last week and ended up taking a "mental health" day on Friday. Between school work (report cards go home on Thursday), housework (book club meets here on Wednesday), meal planning (for us, Theo and the book club), errands (out of disposables, wipes, and organic cheerios), yardwork (raking, deadheading, planting peas) and not sleeping (4am wake-ups thanks to a tooth), I was highly stressed and couldn't see when it would all get done. I'm definitely feeling better now that the weekend is over. When I have so many things on my plate I don't know what to concentrate on. I get overwhelmed too easily I think. Between the two of us, we were able to get just about everything done - and even enjoyed Sushi out last night. Breath deep... here comes another week.
 
I leave you with the doodlebug and his doggy who he has come to know and love.

We're coming to Northampton Friday-Saturday of that weekend and we've been wondering what on Earth is going on there! Lots of hotels are full already. We're just going to get married, shop, and take our 5 y.o. to the butterfly museum in S Deerfield which I've heard is great but never been to.
Sorry though, we're not in the city...we're on the western side of NY.

I can't find your email on your profile but drop me a line (familyo at earthlink dot net) -- I have some advice about finding a place to stay.

Oh, I wish we had room for you guys! We are New Yorkers, but there is no way we could fit more than 1 or 2 people in our place. Good luck in your search!
