Exhaustion or a Similar Feeling

Monday, Tuesday, almost Wednesday.... and still going strong.

A 10-year old child is visiting for the week and while I'm not yet exhausted, I am beginning to notice a certain lack of um, shall we say... energy.

My cousin (and god daughter) from North Carolina is here on her first solo visit to New Mexico. She's spending a week with "CHRIS and TRISH".... starring, yep, yours truely.

Seriously, she's great. We love having her here and trying out someone else's kid. It was a big deal to have her come visit (flying by herself) and we appreciate her parent's willingness to share her with us and more importantly, to recognize the value of sending her off on a grand adventure.

We've made special breakfasts and dinners, seen the Sky City at Akoma and ridden the Sandia tram, and eaten a boatload of sushi... and done math problems and watched Harry Potter and the Princess Bride, and... .and... .and....

(10 year olds tend to talk in terms of... and we did this... and we did that.... and we did this.... well, you get the idea).

Oh there's more to come between now and Sunday. It's only the end of the second day after all...

and I can sleep next week.
