My brain is made up of mashed baby food :) I dropped my family off at the airport this morning. Having to wake up at 4:30am should be illegal. And then spend 1 and a 1/2 hours in the car? Bleh! Then I came back home, cleaned my bathroom (two females sharing a bathroom - my sister and I, that is - does not make for cleanliness), took a shower and a nap and then started in cleaning the house. I love my nephew, but ditto on the cleanliness with a tweny-one month old baby ;) And I was afraid my roommate would threaten to move out if I didn't clean :P
I wrote five pages today, too, yeah!
My mom and sister got in Sunday pm, my brother Monday am. I didn't have to teach, which was good, so we were free the rest of the day. I drove them around the North Shore and we looked at big houses and the gorgeous coastline. Then Tues. we went into Boston, I dropped them at a mall while I took care of some business, and then we walked around the Commons and Newbery St. My little nephew was such a good boy the whole trip. He's just a happy baby, always laughing and smiling for no reason, really easy-going, and hardly ever cried. We went shopping, ate dinner at Chili's, and then home. My sister and I went and saw Chicago - finally! I've been dying to get to it! - and while I thought CZJ was excellent, RZ....let's just say she's not a dancer and it shows :P But it was a good movie. Wednesday I taught - brought my sister to class with me - and then we went on a trolley tour of Boston. It's funny to be a tourist in your own town! Then my friend Steph - to whom I send great thank you's - watched the baby so we could go out to a "real" dinner. We went to an excellent restaurant in Salem called the Lyceum. My sister was so disgusted when I told her I couldn't think of anywhere to go that was nice, the nicest places my boyfriends have ever taken me were Appleby's and the like, so we had to get a recommendation from my roommate and Steph. And my new goal is to date a guy who will take me there at least once :P
I wanted to go to dance class tonight, but I'm wiped. It's hard not to have any real private/personal time for several days, and my family doesn't always get along, so things got tense a few times. And I can't bear the thought of getting in the car again after all the driving I've done the last few days. So I'm sticking close to home tonight. I owe crits up the wazzoo, need to write thank-you notes and finish cleaning the house. But I think I'll take another nap first. I have tomorrow off work, I'll catch up on everything then. Really.
