1. Joel sleeps until almost 10 allowing me to do important stuff like:
a. Give Alyssa my undivided attention so that she doesn't cry (tear free since 8:03!!! ... what's the remind you of, Boomer?)
b. Load dishwasher, sweep and mop breakfast nook, and declutter kitchen counters slightly.
c. Chat it up with my girl Angie for our daily "check in".
2. Alyssa and I cleaned her room with minimal fuss from her and minimal help from me. She probably did at least 75% of it on her own. Its amazing what the promise of chips for lunch and "winning" monies (she earned 23 cents for cleaning her room) can do to motivate that child.
3. I feel like I've accomplished something. See items 1 and 2.
4. There's the promise of 2 children napping at the same time today ... miracles happen, people, miracles happen.
5 MOST IMPORTANT! See sidebar for countdown ... Paula will be here in less than a week! One week from now I'll be touring the zoo with Paula and the kids; I can't wait!!!

Sigh. Sniff. I wish I had time for a daily update. The Kochs are my favorite family. Alas, every time I try to talk on the phone the boys try and kill each other. Or destroy the house. Or pour salt in someone's eyes (this happened yesterday). Maybe if Jeff doesn't go in to the office Sunday, I can get a call in for a weekly update.
