BLAH

Summer's gone. Here it already feels like winter, and that just makes me feel blah.

Okay, so both kids are down for naps right now; I have the tile guy coming (or so he says) in a few minutes, and I want to give you a quick life summary before the kids wake up and/or I have to go and supervise the tile guy (and act like I really know what he's doing). So here goes:
I'm half-way through my month alone with the kids. It's been, well, challenging. Raoul's in Turin shooting a film. We're supposed to go up and meet him, but our car is having some problems that I want to make sure are fixed before driving 8 hours with two little ones. Since neither child is a great car traveller (if you have a child who always sleeps in the car or sits quietly, count yourself very lucky), I am hoping to make it out on Friday night/extremely early Saturday morning (i.e. 3 a.m.). This way the kids really should sleep most of the way, and I can have a chance to listen to the presidential debates (if they take place) in peace (so I hope...should never speak too soon).
Phoebe's woken up....will write more later.
