Deep breath...

First, the fun stuff:

Because the kiddos don't get enough computer time at home, we had to get some at the library:

Hey, there's Nemo! And Dorrie!

And yet again, more water fun! (Are we sensing a pattern?)

And then there's the not-so-fun: Sam has gone on sleep strike and is spending 30 plus minutes screaming before choosing to go to sleep. And then waking up a couple of times in the night and repeating the show. Not teething, so far as we can see, not sick, nothing different in his room. It's a freaking mystery.

And the big kids are pushing each others' buttons (and mine) non-stop lately.

And I'm a big ole' crankypants.

Sounds like a good time for me to get the heck out of dodge for awhile. Happily, I'm off to Kansas City for the weekend to attend a yoga teacher training conference (keep your fingers crossed that I'm not revealed to be a big faker dilettante of a yogini!). Then home again for three days before heading off to the high school reunion in St. Thomas for four days! (I just hope that Sam gets his sleep issues under control before he's with the grandparents for four nights...)
