Grateful for a somewhat normal day (so far).
Sophia finally slept! She woke up like 4-5 times last night but was back asleep within 5-10 minutes, which is basically "sleeping through the night" in our family.
Yesterday we went outside and enjoyed a beautiful sunny snowy day. It was so nice out that I didn't want to cut it short for Sophia's nap. She ended up getting overtired and throwing a fit. It was worth it though because she was so tired she had a good night.
Last night we got more snow. When I woke up the air was still thick with clouds blocking the sun and I couldn't bear the thought of going outside in that. However, the sun is peeking out a bit, so maybe after lunch we will give it a try.
1 week ago we were getting ready to fly back from visiting my parents. I think I read somewhere that jet-lag takes one day per time zone to get over, so we should be almost done!
My mind is spinning from various news stories: a Russian plane crash, Russians in Syria killed by U.S. forces (?), school shootings in the U.S. (!), ensuing political debates, sexual harassment cases, and various sensational headlines. I wish I could watch the Olympics, but it isn't very interesting on a computer screen and by myself! Maybe when the kids get a little older they will be interested.
I have some thoughts/updates about continuing goals for the year. But in the meantime it's off to finish baking Valentine's cookies (ahem) and read some ideas for Lent (which begins next Wednesday for us).
I have been listening to blogs, and rarely see the paper, so apart from hysterics about this or that on Facebook, I barely know what the news is. I don't know if that is a good or bad thing. I really am not place do to anything about any of it, so perhaps it is better not to immerse myself in the stress.
ReplyDeleteI think if the sleep is going better AFTER a trip - you are really in great shape! It does sound to me like Miss Sonya really just needs less sleep than she was getting, perhaps.
