All Things Considered

*The kids made it to an 8:00 bedtime tonight and Bailey might have stayed up longer if I hadn't turned off the DVD he was watching.

*The last of our luggage has been found and will be delivered to us sometime tomorrow morning.

*We took Bailey's preschool supplies (clay, scissors, crayons, etc.) to the school today so that he didn't have to lug it all with him on the bus Monday morning. He was so nervous and shy- so totally un-Bailey-like. He later confessed to me that he wanted to talk to his new teacher but that he couldn't remember some words in Japanese. Poor little guy!! They are going to start swimming on Monday also so I have to get him a new pair of swimming trunks. Also his feet have grown and now he can't get into his indoor shoes or his outdoor shoes. We will have to buy those this weekend too.

Things That Feel Weird At 4:30 In The Morning

*The sun rising and the kids too.

*Making eggs and bacon.

*Doing laundry.

*Washing dishes.

*Trying to find something worth watching on TV.

*Hearing the question, "Is it lunch time yet?"

*Having to answer, "Not for another eight hours or so."

The battle plan for today- play long and play hard and try to make bedtime later than 6:15.
