Back to Normal

The Brotherhood is open again today and I won’t lie, I’m pretty sad about it.

I’m glad that I’ll have another awesome option for dinner, but I’m also sad that Chris is back to work, for several reasons:

Well, maybe it’s just one reason: I don’t want to share his cooking with the rest of the island.

Yes, he is THAT amazing.  I don’t know how you people who didn’t marry chefs survive.

It’s more than that, though.  It was so wonderful to have him at home — he did an unbelievable amount of work on his vacation (the three C’s — childcare, cooking, and cleaning) so that I could have a vacation of sorts, too.  And it was just generally nice to be able to see him for more than a few waking hours each day.  I know Nora loved having her Dada home and I really did too.  We had a slow easing back to normal this week; he was at the restaurant getting ready during the days and home in the evenings, but today it’s back to normal and I’m sad.We want more Dada time.

    It is too bad that Feb. is such a short month. 🙁 But if you think about it (and this isn’t to discredit or lessen what you’re feeling) lots of folks only get 1-2 weeks of vacation a year and work so far from home that the hours they spend away from their family is as great or greater (I think of all those Poughkeepsie commuters who spend 2+ hrs each way going to work in NYC…). At least Christ is a short walk away and you can go to the Brotherhood! Getting a nice meal there is certainly a decent employment benefit. 🙂 Hang in there!

Bath time with ambiance a la #ERCOT. 

Luckily we have not been affected by the water issues so many others have experienced. I finally decided to bathe the little girls for the first time in over a week (with a tiny amount of water, I promise) and the power went out again. We got out a lantern and decided to just roll with it. At least it's not below 30 anymore and I managed to get the diapers washed earlier today when we thought things were back to normal.

Maybe this is the universe's way of making sure I don't stay up until 2AM working?

#snowpocalypse and poor planning on the part of the Texas Electric grid means we're experiencing a candle lit evening. So far every one is still having fun and it's not too cold in here yet so we're calling it an adventure.

Well this is something I never thought I would see... a second real snow in the same winter. This one is light and powdery and is promising to hang around for most of the week thanks to freezing temperatures. There are no plows or salt/sand trucks down here so we're all locked in and enjoying an old fashioned snow day.

I figured I had to bundle Vivienne up and take her picture in the snow just so I can prove to her that once we had a real winter in Texas.

Zara made a #texassnowman - tiny, full of grass and leaves, but a legit snowman. 😂 We have the fastest snowflakes I've ever seen falling down here right now and could get up to 4 inches! The girls are over the moon.
