Sushi

We went out for sushi tonight and I met Heidi and the kids at the restaurant. I walked in and the kids were on one side and Heidi was on the other. Zoe and Amelia were so cute. They were playing with their chopsticks and giggling. I was so glad to see them.

I was excited for the toro but it was a little dry. As was the maguro. The uni was excellent thought and is my new favorite. And as always my Alisha roll was awesome.

I'm already hungry for more sushi.

Sleep

Heidi gave me an amazing gift last night--sleep. I slept from 8pm to 4am and it was amazing.

The previous 2 nights had involved almost none. Wednesday night Amelia was up screaming, coughing, laughing, sobbing, and hitting me in the face. Thursday night it was Zoe who was inconsolable. For her it was much worse and I don't think that I slept at all from 3:30 am until 8pm last night. Agony.

Thursday night was bad enough but on Friday both kids were sick at home. Amelia with a temperature and croup and Zoe with just croup. I would get one to sleep and then the other would wake up and wake up the one I had just gotten to sleep. At one point I finally had Zoe sleeping and I had begged with Amelia for 1/2 an hour to let me get a little rest. She finally agreed to cuddle on the couch an watch a cartoon. My eyes had just closed when Zoe started screaming.

It went back and forth like this all day. It truly wasn't agony as much as it was really tiring. The one highlight was our sushi lunch. I had uni, tuna, octopus, an Alisha Roll and gyoza. Amelia had some chicken tempura that she really liked.

Finally at 3:00 I handed off the kids to Heidi and went home to rest and watch some basketball.

I was too tired to sleep so I cleaned.
