Blake came home yesterday, and passionately reunited with his Nintendo 3DS. I’m glad to have him back, although I was also glad to get in one late morning sleep on the day he returned. I’ve been sleeping really poorly lately (not enough exercise, most likely), and every night I’ll wake up in the dead darkness with a dull ache running through my hips and a squirmy baby who doesn’t want to let me move to relieve it. Last night every move in the bed woke me up, and I was fairly convinced that I would never sleep again. Fortunately, the alarm clock is on the other side of the bed, so I’m never able to keep track (and therefore obsess) over time spent staring at the insides of my eyelids. And the other fortunate bit is that no matter how bad it gets, I sleep eventually. Even if it’s only for a few minutes.
It was a slow day today, a day for laundry and library. Maggie slept the whole morning, but it appears she wants to cry all night to make up for it. Tomorrow we’re going to take the oldest and youngest to dim sum, and then maybe a return showing of LaserQuest to use up the enticing BOGO coupons we got at the birthday party. The tree is coming down, which should clear up some of the chaos that’s reigned in my living room since Christmas Day. And if I’m lucky, I’ll find my engagement ring, which was lost some time last week.
