Because I certainly fell off it; the NaBloPoMo wagon, that is. I got thrown off when Jude pulled an all-nighter last Wednesday. I ended up getting a grand total of about 4 hours sleep, half of that on the couch with him cradled in my arms. So Thursday night found me falling asleep with him at bedtime rather than blogging. Ditto Friday night.
Last night we didn't get home from visiting my grandma and then hanging out with Henry's family (and shopping) until late. In fact I think it was technically already today, so no blog post again.
It's been busy around here though. Grandma had her pre-surgery procedure today and Henry's brother called to say it went fine. It wasn't an angiogram as she had told me originally, but something else I cannot recall the name of. Basically they went in and cut off the blood supply to one of the 2 vessels leading to her brain. This should help tomorrow during the surgery to remove (hopefully most of) the tumor causing all the problems.
Solana went to her first slumber party on Friday night. She went back and forth on staying the night and ultimately decided to do it. We made sure she knew she could call us anytime and Henry would come get her of she needed. She ended up staying all night and looked really happy when we picked her up. The girls got a grand total of about 7 hours sleep, but it worked out well since we had a 2-hour car ride ahead of us; she actually napped for a bit on the way!
So yeah, big milestone there: Solana's first night away from her family (no, she had never even slept over at grandma's yet). I'm glad we waited until she was ready since it went so well.
