Today

Today I put Kate back in her bed at 1am and 5am. She also woke up at 6:20am, but I was on my way to the gym, so Kyle dealt with that one.  She really likes to sleep with me, a warm little remora stuck to my back or my chest, softly snoring while I can't move. It's sweet every week or so, not every day.

Today I got the tires rotated on the van.  I was first in line at the Costco tire center.  Victory!

Today I was too tired to take the kids to the movie theater, so I bought them a movie on pay-per-view, made delicious homemade popcorn, fed them sugar, and took a nap. I am brilliant.

Today I cursed the never-ending fog that is sucking the life out of me.  Is it day six? Day 26?  The air is so thick and dirty that I cough every time I'm outside for more than just a few minutes. One word: miasma.

Today I took Hayden to drum lessons and indoor soccer. Kyle made dinner. He makes a very yummy fried rice, and Trader Joe's does a mean potsticker with sweet chili sauce.

Today I am trying to avoid sugar again. The last two weeks have been very hit and miss.

Today I played hide and seek with my family. I squeezed under Kara's bed and almost fell asleep. It was a great game.

Today I thought about mopping my dirty wood floor. I decided to do it tomorrow.

Today I reflected on the great things about America. I tried not to think about the wrong turns I think the country is taking.

Today I danced to gangnam style and looked utterly ridiculous while doing it.

What did you do today?

Today I tried to find some kind of order in my new house. Glad I have lots more days ahead because it sure didn't get finished...

Maybe Kate is sucking your energy more than the fog. You need to take a three-day weekend and come visit without any kids. There is no fog here (so far, anyway). :)

Today Kjersten stopped throwing up after doing so every 15 minutes for almost 6 hours!!! Poor thing. I did some laundry, had some Dickie Jo's (but sadly the vegan pattie which is mushy), and am now wishing I hadn't gobbled up those fries because my tummy is mad at me.

I wish I had been able to see you. Especially dancing Gangnam style! Hopefully the next time I'm in OR.

I cried while watching Downton Abbey. A lot.

You did all that in one day? I do fully support the putting on a movie and taking a nap. I pretty much do that every Saturday. And I also commend you on trying to avoid sugar. I would die.
