New Years Hangover

The sounds of a crying baby made us perfectly aware that as a parent, or even a friend of a parent, a major headache and lack of sleep can very easily drive you mad as your child cries from diaper rash and three poops in the night.

Morning came too soon and Henri and Sophia and Tigo, asleep on the floor when we came in, were now awake and after kicking his cold the day before were ready to take us to see tulips and the dunes. FORGET IT!

I went back to bed three times after trying to get up. They had to carry all their things down the stairs in multiple trips without me. I was in no condition to come back up six flights of spiralling stairs as the song in my head played norwegian death metal accompanied by the rockets blasting from the night before. A motrin and a glass of juice, I layed down my last time. I didnt even hear them leave. I think it was the lack of a crying/upset Tigo that made me wake up. Made some lunch, then back for a nap. Up for dinner, then to bed for a good sleep.

Tomorrow, mellow day, then in the evening, off to France for some skiing on the Swiss border.

Wish us luck.
