Blessed sleep...

It's a rainy Northwest morning, but I don't even really care BECAUSE ZOEY SLEPT FOR 12 HOURS LAST NIGHT!

I know she really needed it, and this is all part of her getting better. But wow! Her 12 hours of sleep meant that I got 10 hours of much-needed, long-coveted shut eye. Which was just enough time, apparently, for my body to finish brewing the cold it's been trying to fight off for the past two days. I woke up stuffy, but still, I don't really care.

Zo-bug is presently residing in our bed downstairs watching Elmo. I just can't take that furry little monster first thing in the morning--I need a little Matt Lauer and a big cup of coffee to get my day going. But she was so insistent that Bryan took her downstairs and tucked her in with her favorite DVD playing. Knowing my child, she's probably down there coloring all over my furniture. Again, my coffee-Today-Show-stuffy-head-I-got-a-full-night's-sleep high makes me care very little. What are Clorox wipes and Magic Erasers for, anyway? Wheee.....

So now I'm off to plan a day's worth of activities that can be accomplished indoors. We may hit up Cafe Sip N Play. Maybe some baking? Zoey is a big fan of dumping things in the mixer lately. Also, her birthday invitations need to be addressed and I need to watch the last episode of Mad Men so I can return the DVD and check out the next one. Bryan will be gone especially late tonight--study group until 9 pm, wow--so I really need to be on the ball as far as keeping this kid (and myself) occupied.

I'm off to see what my now-healthy toddler is up to....
