Heidi Chronicles

Heidi…

• ’s patience is directly tied to food. Only one freak out this trip – from a subway chix sand loaded with covert sugar!! Trust no one. #fb1:46 AM Jun 1st from web
• is going to take a nap in prep. for kids coming back on Wed. The break has been wonderful. I’m feeling human again. Thanks everyone. #fb8:09 PM Jun 1st from web
• is planning a day of planning tomorrow. So much to do before we head back on the 11th. #fb4:34 AM Jun 2nd from web
• is wondering where she left her camera. Time to send it in for a cleaning. Computer too. To-do list items being checked off. #fb9:03 PM Jun 2nd from web
• wishes she didn’t have to reset a password every time on a card she doesn’t use very often. Why can’t I just remember it??? #fb6:04 PM Jun 3rd from web
• is happy to see the kids, but tired already! #fb10:15 PM Jun 3rd from web
• is headed to the dentist with Liam. Not at all interesting, but it’s what I’m doing. #fb2:42 PM Jun 4th from web
• got to play with Ang yesterday and is going to Jenny’s today. It’s just like ye olde times in OP! Having fun. #fb1:42 PM Jun 5th from web
• is tired after a fun day yesterday: baby pool, sprinklers, crazy children thrilled to see one another, & great mom friends. Good times. #fb3:09 PM Jun 6th from web
• is tired and should be sleeping with the others, but the only time to recharge is when they are sleeping. Always with the dilemma, eh? #fb8:16 PM Jun 6th from web
• is a little bit allergic to sunscreen. Perhaps living in a climate where it’s not necessary 362 days of the year will do that? #fb4:17 AM Jun 8th from web
• is forgetting things left and right. #fb2:01 PM Jun 8th from web
• Spent naptime messing around on the computer instead of napping. Probably not a good choice, but it was enjoyable! #fb9:27 PM Jun 9th from web
• is trying to tie up last minute details before leaving tomorrow. Glad we get to see the Rosses before they leave London on Mon. Sad. #fb4:17 PM Jun 10th from web
• has eaten some tasty vittles while in the US: Mi Ranchito, Korma Sutra (2x), Garrozzo’s…and more – sans desserts! I adore good food! #fb4:41 PM Jun 10th from web
• walked to walmart for last-minute items. Ran into ang there! Nice that they live just around the corner now that we live in London. #fb7:31 PM Jun 10th from web
• is trying to do Eastern to Central time conversions. Seriously…this shouldn’t be that difficult considering. LOL! #fb11:14 PM Jun 10th from web
• isn’t exactly sure if everything is going to fit into the six checked bags she has tomorrow. The other carriers on are going to hate me. #fb3:40 AM Jun 11th from web
• is shoving things in suitcases. Hope it all fits. #fb3:24 PM Jun 11th from web
• Is happy to be in a car heading home today sans luggage and five hours late rather than tomorrow. It’s good to be back. #fb12:08 PM Jun 12th from web
• is out of it and keeps forgetting which country she’s in. It’s definitely bed time. #fb8:42 PM Jun 12th from web
• doesn’t enjoy the “I slept for four & a half hours but now I’m awake screaming ‘mommy’ at midnight” aspect of returning from the states. #fb11:57 PM Jun 12th from web
• just finished a protein shake and is feeling less annoyed and much calmer. Good food makes all the difference. #fb12:39 AM Jun 13th from web
• thinks that after three hours on my lap on a plane Elena would give me a break. Then again, I also thought I’d get my bags today. Wrong. #fb2:27 AM Jun 13th from web
• is happy that her luggage arrived from San Francisco and glad that she didn’t have to travel along with it on THAT flight. Wahoooo! #fb7:04 PM Jun 13th from web

• gets to go to sleep now since Heather is up with E.Thx be to Heather! #fb12:39 AM Jun 14th from web

• hates saying goodbye. #fb7:47 PM Jun 14th from web
• pees just a little bit every time she sneezes and when she laughs really hard. Thank you Liam and Elena for the weak pelvic floor. #fb11:33 PM Jun 14th from web
• Bed at 2 a.m. w/ E. Up at 10.15. 12.30 now, in jammies, talking to “friends in the computer” (per L), ignoring kids. Tired. Need tea. #fb12:37 PM Jun 15th from web
• is listening to L and E pretend to run to catch a plane and thinking of Heather who is stuck in Chicago after mechanical problems. Ugh. #fb7:14 PM Jun 15th from web
• and the kids greatly enjoyed the thunderstorm. Macey however, did NOT. #fb7:33 PM Jun 15th from web
• enjoyed her walk to Belsize Park but is grateful for the Tube to take her home! #fb10:28 AM Jun 16th from web
• had a nice, quiet afternoon and is feeling pretty good. Hopefully kids will go to bed at normal time too.#fb4:25 PM Jun 16th from web
• thinks her kettle (jug) is broken. It turns on, but won’t boil water. What’s a faux-Brit to do without her tea? (Microwave I guess.) #fb5:14 PM Jun 16th from web
• is sick. No fever, but sore throat, lots of drainage, runny nose, stuffed sinuses, & headache. Just enough to be a thorn in my side. #fb10:52 PM Jun 16th from web
• There’s nothing like a warm dog by your legs to make you feel cozy on a day where you’re not feeling 100%. Good dog, Macey. #fb3:26 PM Jun 17th from web
• is wondering what time the kids will go to sleep this evening, and if it will finally be in their own beds. Anyone want to wager? #fb3:45 PM Jun 17th from web

• will be off the zoloft next week. Thank you very much steps 1 through 7! #fb12:46 PM Jun 18th from mobile web

• spent three hours in whole foods today and LOVED it. Thanks Bexy! #fb10:16 PM Jun 20th from web

• is coming to terms with the new normal. It’s not the same here without you, J&N. #fb4:05 PM Jun 22nd from web
• thinks Aaron brought the devil into the house when he came home from work. Children are clearly possessed. #fb6:38 PM Jun 22nd from web
• is dreading getting the kids from school. I’m hoping that they’ll leave the devil there today and it won’t be so bad this afternoon…. #fb12:29 PM Jun 23rd from web
• just overheard Liam exclaim in disbelief, “Elena! Look! The sky’s ALL BLUE!” Gorgeous day here. (And kids are devil-free as well.) #fb4:45 PM Jun 23rd from web
• must have gas. It feels like there’s a baby moving around in my belly! (Rest assured, there is really no baby in there.) #fb10:56 PM Jun 23rd from web
• spent the day doing stuff that needed to be done. How novel is that?! #fb5:58 PM Jun 24th from web

• is grateful for what she knows and even more grateful to know people who know what she doesn’t. #fb12:51 PM Jun 26th from mobile web
• Little boys playing together make me smile…and not in a dirty sort of way, Aaron. #fb4:39 PM Jun 26th from web

• will be late to the bbq b/c we are stuck home in the middle of a thunder storm downpour with water leaking through the kitchen ceiling! #fb6:03 PM Jun 27th from web
• is enjoying a sunny Sunday morning reading yahoo lists. Kids have trashed the play room, but they left me alone so I don’t even care! #fb9:09 AM Jun 28th from web
• Trimming the hedges after rain wasn’t the best idea. Soggy H stomping leaves in the big green waste bin was funny for passers-by though! #fb8:04 PM Jun 28th from web

• It still looks like 4 o’clock outside. I can’t believe how long it stays light here in the summers! #fb9:14 PM Jun 29th from web
• Long morning walk in the Heath with Mace. Accounts balanced. People contacted. Lunch. Picked up kids. Hot. Nap ruined by talking & poop. #fb3:46 PM Jun 30th from web
• Overheard Elena saying to Liam: “Wiam? Poop is NOT my favowite.” #fb4:09 PM Jun 30th from web
• Aaron just walked in and took off his pants (trousers) in the kitchen. Clearly he is hot in a sweaty sort of way. #fb4:22 PM Jun 30th from web
