Time Does NOT fly when you aren't having fun.

One in the morning, and here we are. Awake. Rocco was pretty adamant about not being ready to go to bed just yet. So here we are, doing what we do when he doesn't want to sleep. Watching Despicable Me. There are far worse things we could be doing, but I'd rather be sleeping.
Rob watched the Super Bowl at the US Embassy party last night, and didn't get home until around five in the morning.(I think it started at around 1 am.) So we are letting him sleep. He navigated through the day on an hour and a half of sleep. How? I have no idea. He said the party was fun, and he had a good time, but probably wouldn't do it again. Not worth the loss of sleep. Rocco and I didn't sleep much while he was gone either. We watched a movie, and tried to sleep. So here we are.
We watched 101 Dalmatians, in Arabic and The Switch. We have watched a lot of movies just in the last four or five days. I won't list them all, in an attempt to keep it our secret that we really, truly, don't do anything else with our time. Among them, was The King's Speech. It was really good.

We are currently experiencing first hand how the saying "a watched pot never boils" applies to life. The more we talk about the future, and our trips we have planned, the longer it takes to get to them, and the future. Today was a hard day. Hopefully tomorrow is better.

Part of the prayer said by one of the little girls on our movie...
"and bless that while we are sleeping no bugs will crawl into our ears and lay eggs in our brains"
I too hope that bugs don't crawl into my ears.

  2. It was nice to talk to you. I think we hung up just as Rocco was waking up. We have been watching our fair share of movies too. It's a combo of the weather and my current state of "couch potato-ness". Oh yeah, and my awesome parenting skills. ;)
    Sorry things are tough right now. We love and miss you.
