Home Sweet Home

After a long day of flying and traveling, I got home Friday night late. The next day was the best reunion with all my family. As you can see, I got mawled by all my neices and nephews with hugs and kisses. They have grown so much! I couldn't believe how much they have changed in only 4 months. I missed them so much and was so excited to see them. It's great to be home! I am so lucky to have such a great family to come home to. Phone calls, letters, emails, etc. from them are what got me through the long 4 months.

I not only got doggy piled on, but Melanie, the amazing hair dresser, cut my hair. I didn't want to get it cut in DC because for one, it is so dang expensive and two, I won't trust anyone but Melanie to cut my hair. She is the best :)

I NEED SLEEP!

The past couple of weeks I haven't been able to get a good night sleep. I think I am just so excited to go home and see my family. So last night, when I woke up at 3:30am, I was sick of eating (literally sick) so I got the idea to clean our oven. In our apartment there is this closet that all the crap leftover from previous interns gets shoved into. I thought that there might be some cleaning supplies in there so I jumped up on a broken night stand (yes broken is the key word here) while trying to reach up on the top shelf. Well, my balancing skills are usually pretty good, but not so much at 3:30 in the morning. The next thing I know, a window screen and then the vacuum cleaner are breaking my fall. I was laying there half moaning and laughing at myself for a good 5 minutes. When I finally got up I looked at my leg and realized I have a huge bruise/rash looking thing on my thigh. Good thing I didn't break my leg or anything like that because nobody would have been able to save me that early. I realized how retarded I was being so instead of cleaning, I laid back in my bed and played sudoku while listening to Christmas music! Only 4 more sleepless nights :)
