mentally and physically

exhausted. We did a quick run to Maryville to see Rob and Cindi and kids for Christmas. Travelling with a one year old is not easy. He slept most of the way up there, so he was really awake and ready to play well into the midnight hour. His sleeping cycles were off so that makes my sleeping cycles off, so yeah, tired much?

So today, we drove by Leavenworth on the way home to see what their housing looks like. It looks old. And tiny. Small could be dealt with perhaps, but these were tiny. We are talking duplexes not much bigger than our old Steedman house. So, cut that old house in half and that is what you might get to live in...plus you have to share a wall and hear your neighbors. And no garage. Some of the housing looked ok, but you never know what will be open until you are ready for the key.

So we grab some real estate guides and head for home. Nathan sleeps again but starts to get tired of being strapped down outside of Warrensburg. We crashed Bob and Jen's house for about an hour's play break. D has changed quite a bit since we saw him last. Nathan got some wiggling out and slept again until Jeff City, so that was nice. I'm sure we'll be up a looonnng time, tho.

On our answering maching was a message from sean's career manager. He "needs to talk" about Sean's move...hmm. I KNEW it! Here comes the fly about to hit the ointment...
