I don’t know if Tage’s having a growth spurt or if the cold he’s got is just wearing him down, but he is a sleeping fool right now. Yesterday evening he fell asleep around 5:30, which is a bit late for a nap, but there’s no keeping him awake when he decides it’s naptime. As it turned out, though, he didn’t wake up until almost 8:00 this morning! He’s asleep again now, having gone down for his nap at 3:30. If all goes well, he’ll get up in an hour or two and tonight will be a more normal night (and maybe I’ll get to sleep in a little tomorrow, since Lydia’s on Easter break this week). At least I’ve gotten the chance to mop the floors and do some other cleaning while he’s been sleeping!<\/p>\n
Olof leaves for Mexico on Friday evening, and I’m gearing up to be without him for a week. I know some of you have had to (or still have to) live for much longer stretches without your guys, but I’m a big baby and have a hard time when he’s gone (and, no, Liz, my last story in Mosaic Minds<\/a> wasn’t autobiographical from a past life, but rather a sort of pre-autobiography in anticipation of these coming seven days–the longest we’ve been apart–except that the existence of two kids, two cats, and a dog, plus the lack of a Swedish driver’s license, will keep me from making an impromptu road trip). <\/p>\n Speaking of Mosaic Minds, last night I started working on what I hope will turn into a feature article for the upcoming issue. I haven’t done a feature before, but non-fiction is much, much<\/i> easier for me to write than fiction is, so I’m not really stressing about it. I’d like to write a fiction piece this time as well, but I’m just not “feeling” this theme (“Heroes and Role Models”), as they say, and nothing has come to me yet. I still have about two-and-a-half weeks, though, until the deadline, so who knows what will happen. I haven’t even started thinking about Gravy Train<\/i> yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don’t know if Tage’s having a growth spurt or if the cold he’s got is just wearing him down, but he is a sleeping fool right now.
