So. Done up and did one of them thar trip things on y'all. And now I'm postin' all "ATF" and stuff. (Yes. "ATF" = "after the fact." I am that cool. Or - hrm, high-killing thought - I am that uncool because that little trendy texting-/tweeting-based abbreviation may already exist and I am just waaaaaaay behind the times. Whatever. Whatever! I don't care, I tell you!)

Recap: quick visit to visit family downstate. It was a fine trip (not really the harrowing ordeal to which I previously alluded - just being all dramatic), which is a relief, and I have returned home with two sick little kids in tow. Go figure. Sickness is becoming the hallmark of our trips, it would seem.

The boys are still segregated in their sleeping arrangements. Fruit Loop will forever wake up at night and yell for me, I am sure of it. No matter how much coaxing, encouragement, whisper yelling, and outright threats of losing privileges, no TV, bodily harm, abandonment...Yeah, he just doesn't really take any of that seriously. So, for the timebeing, sleeping will...well, hopefully happen, and hopefully eventually somehow by an Act of Divine Intervention it will be sleeping through the night, UNINTERRUPTED, for all of us.

What? I can dream, leave me alone.
