I think I know what it feels like to be a zombie. Or at least feel like zombies look in the movies. Sid seems to be having a pretty severe bout of insomnia the last couple nights, keeping us up off and on for hours. Or more accurately, up, then back to sleep for an hour, then up again, then back to sleep for 20 minutes, and on and on. Last night is a blur of getting up, picking him up, rocking with him, putting him back in his crib, bringing him to our bed, being kicked by him in our bed, Morgan getting up multiple times. Getting up this morning was harder than the worst hangover morning. This has to stop. He's apparently constipated too - I wonder which condition causes the other? Or maybe molars are coming in? I should also mention that our dear babysitter Michelle is now our former babysitter Michelle, off to nursing school she went, so Sid is now with Alicia 3 days a week. So maybe the change of scenery has disrupted him...but he seems happy with the switch. Otherwise, Sid's shaping up to be quite the little man - using lots of words now, and charming the pants off of anyone he meets.
Lola still attending Noah's Ark happily, doing well there, and being her usual beautiful Lola self.
In other news, yeah, I know, the rate of updates around here would make you think we've left the country. Still here, crazy busy, living our lives.
EcoReno moved a few weeks ago, to our new location. Much more visible on the main drag, double the floor space, great vibrant neighborhood, and it seems like we're getting busier. To help make the move happen, with all the financial fallout that entails, we sold our Eurovan to a nice family from Mt. Shasta, went without a 2nd vehicle for about 10 days, and as of last night, are now the proud owners of a 2002, very low mileage, Toyota Sienna. Sigh, a minivan. It's come to that. I wanted a Forester or an Outback, but the practicalities of two kids in car seats, frequent cargo-hauling needs, seating for more than just the four of us, and the minivan became the obvious choice. Should last us a nice long time.
My goal for this fall, since goals like homebrewing and writing a will (yeah, OK, I know my goals are weird and disparate) never seem to materialize, is to get some more photos posted on this site. I'm sure there are a ton on the camera, several of which I could have posted and linked to from this writing to illustrate various things. Time is such a fleeting resource. But since Project Runway and Biggest Loser will kidnap my wife two nights a week, I think I might be able to get these online photo albums updated soon.
Speaking of time, I've got to wrap this up and go get ready for work. Where I also don't have enough time to get everything done. When do I get to slow down? Oh yeah, every night after kids go to bed, enjoying a good beer, and watching TV for a few minutes before bed.
