Time Back Home

It is day 4 here in good ol' Whittier California. I am here taking care of my mom as she recovers from a small little surgery. Because I am her caretaker I haven't been doing tons, but it has been very fulfilling and enjoyable. I have been making dinner every night (does not happen too often) and cleaning up, and waking up at 7 every day because Berkeley decided she is not going to be a good sleeper this week. We have been sleeping in the same room, so if she makes any sounds it wakes me up, and all I want to do is go back to sleep. So she has been waking up at like 5 each morning, so she comes in bed with me, which is a first. She NEVER sleeps in my bed, and I'm not going to lie, I love it. I totally spoon ( the best we can considering she is like a third my size) with her and cuddle with her, but I am just getting the memo that kids move around way too much when they sleep, but I love it. Another out of ordinary thing that I did is I bought fabric to make....yes I said make, Berkeley's Christmas dress. My mom always did it for us, and I thought it would be fun one year to do that. So it is in the works right now. My mom is going to help me of course, because I don't dare do it all on my own! The last good thing that has been happening is I finally got to start reading the ever so popular books about the teenage vampires. Its pretty good, I'm not going to lie! I haven't gotten to the die hard addiction point yet, but its good. I guess that I am away from my tivo I am finally getting in some good reading!
