Whoosh, half of September gone, already. Sigh.

And we're still running around and trying to recover from our trip; we just got the week's groceries last night. And Matt and I are both suffering severe cases of the munchies - you don't stay with Grandma Brooks for four or five days and then just quit that kind of eating cold turkey!

Penny's sleep schedule is still off - she didn't go to bed until 8:30 last night, and I had to pry her out of bed with a crowbar this morning. I'm not sure whether I like the shift; the sleeping in the morning is really nice, but I'd gotten used to having my two hours to relax at the end of the evening.

Maybe we could compromise on bed at 8, and up at 6.

Though I think it's far more likely that she'll shift back to her more usual schedule after a few days. You know - just in time for the weekend, so Matt and I don't get to take full advantage of her sleeping in.

When we got to the grocery store last night, Penny was actually shivering. I had to send Matt back out to the car to get the spare blanket that we always keep in there. I think it's time for us to go shopping for some fall clothes for her.

Yesterday was a day of playing catch-up, both at home and at work. I'm hoping that today I can get more into my usual routine. If nothing else, I really need to go to the gym and see if I can do something about the extra pounds that showed up over the weekend...
