I’m so glad the week has ended. It’s been so hectic and occasionally unpleasant – but some weeks are just like that, I guess!

Roux went missing earlier this week, and it was awful!! Stabler cried all over the house (seriously – for HOURS), and Chloe wandered in confusion. Luckily, though, she is home safe and I’ve kissed her little nose a million times.

I think I may have strained something in my shoulder, and, as I can’t think of any other reason (no work outs lately) I’m blaming Marco’s increasing weight. I have the hardest time trying to carry him in his car seat!

In happier news… my other hubby has been nominated for a Golden Globe AND a SAG award. I hope he wins!!

I’m finishing up Crime and Punishment by Fydor Dostoevsky, and I LOVE IT! It is so beautifully written, and thoroughly examines man’s morality and madness. The names get confusing (lots of ‘k’s and ‘y’s) but once you get them straight, the English translation is perfect. I may read The Brothers Karamazov next.

This weekend we’ll be visiting with the Gomers, and I’m hoping to get in some ‘me’ time on Sunday. Need to do a bit of Christmas shopping! I can’t believe that Christmas is next week. I haven’t even started wrapping gifts; my tree looks almost naked.

Off to give Roux another smooch.

XOXOXO
