Day 359 (Wednesday, 1/19): ABC . . .

I wish I could say that my lack of blog posts these last couple of days was caused by some vigorous dissertation work, but actually I've just been so tired, I haven't had the energy in the evening to do them. This energy slump was caused by me trying to squeeze more hours into the day by going to bed later, a tactic that did not actually prove efficient. I just can't seem to function on less than seven hours of sleep. In fact, on Thursday night, I passed out on the couch at 10 PM, which did no one any good, least of all me. I didn't get to watch 30 Rock, and I had to wake my sad self up again so I could shower and brush my teeth.

Now, I'm here trying to remember back to Wednesday . . . After Papa left for work, LB and I enjoyed the sunshine. I think we spent an hour at the park, but no one else was there (I do like it when there are other mums at the park to talk to), so we eventually came home for some chalk work. LB got two little boxes of raisins before lunch because she was being so sweet and funny asking for "more" and saying "please."
In the afternoon, G arrived and I was off to teach. Apparently while I was away, the G-Pup and the LB-Pup took over the living room.
