things here are ok. busy. the little mouse is testing us a lot. still trying to figure out his likes and dislikes, and ways to get him on his own a bit more. he's one of those baby's that feels the need to be held all the time, even when he's sleeping. makes it rather difficult when there is another child running around. i think we are getting it worked out now tho. trial and error! : ) otherwise, sleep is ok some nights, not so much others. it could be a lot worse, so i won't complain. some days i feel like a walking zombie, but, it's all part of the plan!
how long is your neice with you? sounds fun! how's work? still odd hours and such?
taking with her man's last hope of victory. The leaden sky was lit by green flashes, cylinder following cylinder, and no one and nothing was left now to fight them. The Earth belonged to the Martians.
And ignorance is bliss!
take care
Sincerely and sadly,
David
