now I know...

that I can go with 4 to 6 hours of sleep if I have to

that sleepy and hungry also make me cranky

that I can balance home and work in Japanese and English

that I am now more forgetful because of the reasons listed above. Including eating breakfast

that I am more patient that I thought

that I am more impatient than I thought

that I need to make well thought out plans, but be ready to throw it out the window

that I met people I wouldn't have otherwise

that our words have consequences

that I can be nurturing and protective

that I can be thoughtless and rash

that I have a really good teammate

that my priorities have become clear

and so much more.


But most importantly, 

I truly know about the work and thought and love my parents put into in raising me.

Thank you for the last 6 years that grew us into better people. There is no one else in the world who calls us Mama and Daddy.

Happy 6th Birthday, kid. You taught us so very much and will continue to, no doubt.

panicky interlude

This is not the promised "Magical Ponies" post. Apologies. Instead, this is the "You Negligent Monster" post. Because Kiddo is in a Japanese daycare, parents are asked to remove their shoes before coming in. No problem. I have a pair of loafers that I hate that I wear on pickup days so I can get in and out more quickly. Most days while I'm putting my shoes on, Yuki will run away from me and I will make noisy protestations and she will giggle and come back. Today, however, there was the running and the noisy protestations and the giggling and a splat. I guess she tripped ("running away" involves going around a corner where I can't see her) because she was crying and pulling herself up off the floor when I got to her. "No big deal" as she likes to say (she does, really, it's friggin' adorable). She had a little red line across the bridge of her nose but there was no blood. She asked for a Band Aid and I told her we'd get her one...
