We're really tired. All of us. Including the dog. Somehow, by the end of the weekend, I was even more exhausted than I was at the start, which I initially found surprising because you'd think with two of us handling Henry we'd get some rest. As it turns out, when there are two of us, there's a penchant for running around trying to get all the stuff you'd like to get done, well, done. Last week we ate the second to last frozen dinner that we had from the dinners we had stockpiled from the Thanksgiving turkey and the Xmas ham. I decided that we should make another turkey this weekend to replenish the supply, so that's what we did. Although we feel like turkey pros, it was hard work.

Henry was very good to us, getting up only twice Friday and Saturday nights, once around 11pm, and again between 2 and 3. What was more surprising was he was sleeping til 8 or 8:30. What a good kid. But then the dog got sick. She tip-tapped up the stairs Sunday night around midnight, tapped around the room, sat and stared at us for a while, walked around again, then went back down to the couch. I asked Dave if he thought she was trying to tell us something was wrong downstairs and he said he didn't think so. Henry woke up shortly after for his 2am nosh. Then at 4 Flash came back upstairs and tapped around the room, hopped in bed with us, hopped off, and tapped around again. Dave decided to take her out back to let her go to the bathroom, but after doing that, she made it clear she wanted to go for a walk so Dave got dressed and took her for a walk. I tended to Henry, who had started to cry because of all the activity, and then waited for Dave to get back. Turns out Flash had diarrhea and then threw up. She spent the rest of the night curled up in bed with us. This would have been fine if it wasn't for the fact that she promptly fell asleep whereas Dave and I were awake until at least five listening to her heavy, contented breathing. By Monday, we were all wrecked. At least I didn't have to stand in front of a group of people and try to teach them something.
