A couple of things


I'm finding myself in a bit of conundrum. I'm missing Mexico. I guess it's only natural since we're feeling a little unsettled this summer and we were finally starting to feel settled there. I do miss it though and all that wonderful light and the food. I miss a whole list of other things too. I just wish we could have stayed longer, met more people and travelled around.

Yesterday was a little nuts. Both kids had ER episodes. We are the ER family! First Charlotte with an eye cut open on the corner of our metal bed and then Little S who got his finger slammed in the car door. It was a crazy. There was a lot of blood and bandages and tears all day. Little S had his finger episode just as I was leaving my neighbor's house feeding her cat. Anyway, I ran back inside to get a few paper towels because there was blood gushing everywhere and S was howling but somehow I lost the keys to the house in all the chaos and we couldn't leave. I looked everywhere! I had to search for a spare one to lock the door all while compressing S's gashed finger and trying to make sure he didn't get blood on the walls. I still don't know where I laid them and I have to go back and look for them tonight.

I just hope today is calmer.

Glad you found thge keys! With kids even the most mundane chores turn into a production - hope everyone is healing nicely.

All the craziness of the day aside...I am a little sorry that you were not able to stay in Mexico. I had great hopes that you could come to our little beach house in Mazatlan and take the kids out to swim en el Pacifico. We would have loved to show you our beautiful town, and I think you would have appreciated the brilliance of my hubby's renovations--our house was a roach-infested shell when we decided to buy it, throw some doors and windows on it, and start from the beginning--definitely up your alley.
It's a long way to go...but maybe we'll see you there someday!
In the meantime, we can always catch up right here in your hometown!
Take care.
