Back to the grind after another long weekend... in addition to a lot of lazing around the house playing video games, watching football, etc, we did get out and about a little bit this weekend -- Thursday night we went to a kid-friendly New Year's Eve party at a friend's house (made it to about 9:15 before we decided that we needed to come home and get the kids, especially Rebecca, to bed); Friday afternoon we had friends over and went to Cantina 1511 for dinner; Saturday we went to the JCC and the kids ran around after a tennis ball in the upstairs dance studio while Joel worked out. There was a guide dog puppy-in-training watching them-- apparently watching little kids chase a tennis ball around is a PERFECT "exposure" for a guide dog in training... the kids did not mind, either, and Ben enjoyed petting her. After that we went to Saffron for dinner, our first visit there but definitely not our last! It was delicious.
Ben went back to school today, and he seemed to adjust much better than I did to getting up early to catch the bus again. The only problem this morning was that it was 20 degrees out and the bus was 20 minutes late. By the time the bus came Ben was whining, Rebecca was crying, and I was just about frozen solid, wearing only a sweatshirt.
Hopefully the rest of our first day back to "reality" will go more smoothly. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2010!

I sympathize- it's rough after a three day fun weekend to get back to the frantic speed of a 'normal' work day.
