40 minute nap?

Apparently we're supposed to get 7" of snow today which sounds about right, seeing as how I have family flying in. There's also Trader Joe's to navigate and a callback to attend (in the past week I have been called back for the roles of "harried mother", "woman at bar", and "harried mother-turned-CGI monster". You read that last one right). And Little Dude just woke up. Why, I ask you? Why?

So how are you all dealing with the holiday stress? I'm not saying I lost my everlovin' marbles last night after Round 5 of Why Won't Baby Sleep? or that I might have assisted the boy in laying himself back down and hurt somebody's not-so-little feelings (not my finest hour) but I'd give my left ear for closer proximity to grandma's house...

Speaking of free babysitting, I may be slightly lax about the posting this week. I've got Grandpa here now, then Grandma in a few. I figure you've all got meetings with Santa or Hanukkah Joe so you won't miss me much, but if you find yourself in need of a kvetch, holler.

Did your family make it in? Doesn't sound like it was a good travel day back there.... must say I get wicked pleasure out of bad weather in NYC, it's the only time I am glad not to be there.... although I always liked the blizzards, no but but Manhattanites in town, people skiing down 5th ave.....

They didn't get in, alas. Hopefully they'll be able to come in in a few weeks. Oy.

(I remember people building snowmen in the middle of Broadway. I'm hoping for something cool like that this year!)
