well... we're back to our regular routine today.

• it snowed a lot, but i liked getting exercise again (walking to and from the school).
• we started night weaning otis about 10 days ago, and i think he's firmly into a routine of sleeping through the night. he even slept until 8:30 on saturday, AND éamon made me breakfast that morning :)

• i got some good teacherly advise from joy and beckie over the break, that really empowered me with the after school crew.

• i'm finding that i have a strong desire for peace in my life these days. i just don't have it in me for loud, chaos.

• our sons are playing so well together, and i just love it.

• i went through the things in our house, and i got rid of two large boxes worth of stuff. probably need to do a quarterly purge. i do hang on to stuff for sentimental reasons, so it was good to really push myself to do away with stuff i don't need and won't use ever again.

• my skin has been extremely dry this winter :S
