Can't Sleep.

"Can't sleep.
Two things I miss about the boat, 1. the gentle rocking for a good nights sleep 2. being able to sit out on deck in the breeze in my PJs for those nights I'm awake at 2 AM.

On the other hand I do not miss waking in the middle of the night to high winds and the anchor slip alarm going off. So I guess it's a good trade.

Pirates

Ha, ha, I asked my kids if they wanted to watch the Pirate movie and Jimmy says, "arrr, the Pirates of the Carrot Bean-an" : D

Veggie-dillas

Lately the kids favorite food has been cheese quesadillas. That can get boring after awhile. So I've started adding egg, broccoli, salsa and other veggies to liven 'em up a bit. It feels funny having a veggie-dilla but it sure is tasty.

Energy

Wouldn't it be nice if you could evenly distribute your kids energy between the whole family so that us old farts could keep up with the kids and maybe tone down the crazy kids at the same time.

Jumping On The Bed

The kids won't stop jumping on the bed and Jimmy just tells me, "well, I don't have a trampoline...so I have to jump on the bed. Find me a trampoline and I'll stop jumping on the bed". (He says this in his 7 going on 17 voice.)

Awake...again.

Awake...again. I'll get used to being here.

It's still SO WEIRD to be back in the States.
