It is nice
The week went well, now we are off until Tuesday and that is the day we meet our new students for the year. It has been, well amazing, not having to go to cross country (CC) practice after a full days work. It is nice knowing that I will be picking Tuki up in 8 hours instead of 10 or more hours later, and it is nice being in one school again. I feel like I have come home after a long absence. I mean this in terms of work and family. Does any one else just sit and stare at their child(ren) sometimes and think how incredibly beautiful, smart, gifted, and amazing they are?? or am I the only wacko out there??? Life feels peaceful this week and hopefully it continues on into next week with the students and then through Friday night when I will be subbing for the head CC coach at a meet since his son is getting married the next day.

Settling In
even though our world has been turned upside down with new pets, we are all settling in real well...headstands are part of Tuks daily activities
Watson, 5 year old scorgi, who came to live with us one week ago today
he loves to do tricks and play catch--which Tuks loves, BUT he has a problem with barking and we will be addressing this very seriously ASAP!!
Beatrice and Hubble - about 10 - 12 weeks old..not litter mates- photos are from
our basement--so ignore the ugly....

Question and in need of help
How do I keep Tuks in her toddler bed during naps and bedtime, and if you feel it is OK for her to run around her room a little before she falls asleep, how long is enough time allowed without it getting out of hand..I am at a loss here?? She use to be a great sleeper, but this summer her sleep pattern has gotten progressively worse. Help please!!!
