Saturday

500 +

I burned 500 calories at the gym today. Plus, I did a dog walk in the morning.  Woohoo!  Wagon, wait for me, I'm trying to get back on!  I wonder if one good day makes up for 2.5 weeks of tortilla eating? 

Busy

It's been a very busy couple of days home.  I haven't really sat at my computer at all, which is how I judge how busy I am.  I'm so happy to be back home, though part of me really misses our little casa in Mexico.  It can be very boring, but it's also very simple.  My head doesn't race with things I could or should be doing.  But, I also don't have a gym to work out in and the level of effort I put forth in a Zumba class is minimal. 

Nain

I picked Mom up at the airport this afternoon.  She's only here for a week.  I have grand plans to get lots of things done while she's here and can keep an eye on Avery while I attempt to get pictures organized on the computer and complete some other projects that just cannot happen with just Avery and me. 

Current Events

Right now, Mom is sleeping on the couch since I made a strategic misstep and put Elise in Mom's room.  Next time I'll know to put Elise in a different room so Mom can go to bed when she wants.

D is out for a poker night, so I don't expect him back any time soon.

All three kids are asleep. 

Avery has not slept well the past two nights home.  She had trouble getting to sleep tonight, but I'm hoping that she'll sleep through the night all right.  I was wondering if it was molars since I hear even those kids who didn't have trouble with other teeth coming in (I could never tell the difference between a teething Avery and a non-teething Avery) have trouble with the 2-year ones, however, I still don't feel anything on her gums, so I don't think it's that.  I suppose it's not unreasonable that she should have trouble adjusting given all of our traveling.  She's also starting to dream and have bad dreams.  Sometimes she just wakes up screaming and won't stop even when we go into her room to give her a cuddle (cuddles usually solve the problem immediately).  It seems like she's awake, but I think she's actually asleep.

Uh oh.  It sounds like Nolan has woken up.  I'm off.  I didn't have anything else to say anyway.
