Hard Days Night

I didn't sleep much last night. Between my aching body (mostly by a tumble I took down the garage stairs yesterday) and my unquenchable thirst, I woke up about ten times and each time it took me longer to get to sleep. Plus today was a 4:00 morning for The Hubby. Smasher was kind and didn't start screaming until 6:30 but he quieted down and started again about 7:30. I decided to get up and give him a bath before breakfast.

For Christmas, Smasher received those foam letters that stick (sometimes) to the side of the tub. This morning picks up an "a" and very plainly states "A." I thought, "Wow. Cool coincidence." Until he picked up an "s" and made a hissing sound. I've been working with him on letters but still didn't think he'd get it for a few months. I was astounded to say the least. After those two though he got tired and decided to do something else.

So as you can tell, it's been kind of a crazy morning at Chez Kyla but a fun one. I'm still exhausted and need some sleep but that will come this weekend. Smasher is going for a weekend visit to his dad's. I miss him when he's gone, but thankful for a little peace and quite. I've learned to appreciate it as my time with peace and quite comes to close for about 18 years. It's been fun and it will be missed.

Just have to mention how excited I am about "The Lovely Bones" being released today. It's been a favorite book of mine since I read it in either my senior year of high school or my freshman year of college. I can't wait to see Peter Jackson's vision for it and of course Stanley Tucci's portrayal of Mr. Harvey. The Hubby wants to get me out of the house for a little while today and so I hope I might be able to sit through it without my body going haywire on me. We'll see.

So, for now, auf wiedersehen.
