I have nothing to say. Blah.
Today has been a long day-2 opera rehearsals in a row. At least it’s Carmen, so that’s fun. My body is aching and I’m exhausted. Now, I’m eating a piece of cake and drinking an Izze soda, so things are beginning to look up. Blah.
I took a fierce Mommy & me yoga class yesterday. Aren’t they supposed to go easy on the Mommies? Shouldn’t they realize that we are already sleep deprived and covered in drool and cut us a break? No. The class started with what felt like 10 minutes of yoga-fied squats. When I left the class over an hour later, my legs were trembling and today I can barely move. Blah.
Tomorrow is my last day off for a while-I think I work for the next 8 days straight. Luckily, some of it will be fun as I get to perform one of my favorite pieces this week, Stravinsky’s Soldier’s Tale (I’m really into Wikipedia links today-yes, it’s a cheap way to blog but get off my back, I’m tired). This performance will probably be pretty different than the last one because this time I get to see how well I can play it on an average of five hours of sleep a night. That should be fun. Blah.
Time for more cake.
Blah.

So, my sister’s hospital stay wasn’t so long after all……
Ashok’s cousin, Rohan, was born on Sunday morning. He was a hefty 6 pounds, 8 ounces-pretty amazing considering he was 5 weeks early! The doctors told my sister that he probably would have been well over 9 pounds had he stayed in to term. What a nice kid, he did her a favor.
“I have to share my stuff with him? Are you crazy, woman?”

….I haven’t slept a wink….or posted in a while.
We have been having some sleeping “issues” over here, to say the least. My adorable son, who previously would sleep in stretches of 7 or 8 hours, now refuses to sleep any longer than 4 hours at a time. Why does he hate me? Combine that with my going back to work more and more each week and you get a recipe for disaster. That disaster also includes my getting sick AGAIN. My third cold in as many months. Fuck.
But look! How can you resist the big brown eyes?
Hi, my name is Ashok. I rolled over for the first time this week, but I only do it for my mommy so now everyone thinks she’s crazy.
Thankfully, this cold (number 3!!!) is not too brutal so I am hoping to be back running again this week. It’s been a while and the weather has been gorgeous here this week, so I hope I can get out again soon.
Today, I’m heading out to the hospital to visit my sister. Her water broke a couple of days ago but she’s only 34 weeks pregnant and not yet officially in labor. That means she has to stay in bed, hooked up to a fetal monitor until Ashok’s cousin decides to show up (he obviously has a mind of his own already). Not fun for her, she’s seriously bored. I’m trying to think of fun things to bring with me-Courtney suggested I teach her to knit but I just remembered that she has carpal tunnel so that won’t work. I think I will bring chocolate, magazines and Uno. Any other ideas?
