A jinx

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

I jinxed us. That’s the only real explanation for what has happened this week. Almost immediately after I blogged about feeling better about life with two kids, and commented that things should continue getting easier, things, in fact, stopped being easy. Avery has a cold, we think, and has slept in only 2-hour stretches for the past few nights. It’s like caring for a newborn again, and everyone in the house is impacted. (Poor Q and Zoe were up with the two of us at 4 AM!) I’m feeling tired and a little glum (and I’m wondering: will she ever sleep normally again??); clearly, I need to be careful about what I post from now on!

Rain, rain (don’t) go away

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Yesterday was an extremely wet, windy day in the city. I was pretty grumpy about it (don’t even ask how long it took for me to drive Zoe to school!), but Zoe was thrilled with the weather. The rain meant that she could use both her raincoat and umbrella, and she was more than happy to model them for the camera!
