it’s official: we have a "family".
I am severely lacking in creative writing energy at the moment. I've decided to cut and paste my dear wife Kim's description of the last two weeks or so from her myspace.com blog:
it’s official: we have a "family".
we arrived home on wednesday night around midnight with the little immigrant. we had a nightmarish couple of days where he would not sleep (which meant none of us slept), threw tantrums over literally nothing, and generally was extremely disagreeable. Things have started to even out a little bit, although I'm still having to sleep on his bedroom floor to help calm him during the many times during the night he wakes up in a panic. we're hoping that establishing a routine will help him calm down and not be so nervous.
chris went back to work today. i miss him. our dogs came back yesterday. i missed them. i have to figure out how to accomplish at least 24 hours of work a week from home in order to maintain the same financial security (which was precarious at best) we had before we went to russia. and considering this is the first time i've even had a chance to check myspace in the past five days (and now only because my mom is here), getting work done is a daunting task.
i long for the days of drinking a bottle of wine and watching i love new york. what sweet heaven that will be when we can do that again.
