I'm going to write you all about Australia.  It seems only fair I should share everything about where I have been.  I'm working right now on the first installment.  Aren't you excited?  I am.
So tonight... tonight I was calm, which was unusual after the last few days have been... I felt so wrung out.  And then sometime, I think after I got the girls up... I just relaxed. 
There was laundry to do, so I sat on the washer and watched the girls dance around the garage to the midi-like sounds of a broken baby bouncer.  I made bubble and squeak for dinner, and I thought, as Sufjan played in the background, that it is very, very satisfying when two toddlers ask for seconds and then thirds.  Although I realized after the third helping all Immi wanted to do was eat dollops of sour cream.  Hmmm.... nope, still satisfying. 
Curious George was for dessert - the movie, not the tv show.   The girls went to bed easily, with lots of tickles and kisses.  I thought about wanting more... children and kisses.  I started writing, Immi woke again and I wondered if it would be another peaceful night shattered by hysteria, but it wasn't.  I sat and rocked her in the dark, wondering how many times I'll get to do that before she's too big.  
And now I've been watching movies.  "Evening" and a Sundance film festival one that I can't remember the name of but that I like.  I'll have to wait until it ends and let you know, so...
