Dealing with two children is difficult, although the day is made easier since Lillian is still going to preschool daily (to keep her socialized and mellow, and to keep me from going insane). Today\u2019s worse than average, though; I didn\u2019t get much sleep last night (Reu was fussy too regularly, then there was a thunderstorm so Lil needed to come in and sleep in my room, then I had to wake up to take her down to school\u2026), and it turned out the closing attorney\u2019s secretary had screwed up a Power of Attorney document that we needed since I wasn\u2019t going to be physically present. She had to send a new copy, which I then had to take to get notarized (to the bank), then scan, then ship the physical original by overnight mail \u2014 and, cleverly, I decided to stop at the post office while I was in town at the bank, and didn\u2019t realize until I was walking out that I probably should have taken the paper <em>home<\/em> first if I wanted a scan of it.<\/p>\n<p>Duh.<\/p>\n<p>It turned out that just knowing the document was on its way was sufficient. But I still wasn\u2019t able to get any sleep; by the time all that had been sorted out, it was only two hours until I needed to pick up Lillian and I was too frustrated with Life, the Universe, and Everything that I just organized paperwork instead. Once she was home, of course, there\u2019s no way I could get to sleep\u2026 but luckily, the forecast is for a clear night, and I expect very little trouble from either child.
