Zombie on my feet...
Apr. 17th, 2004 08:19 pmLast night, about three in the morning, Kouryou-chan sneaks into our bed. And then, deep in sleep, she wets herself. I smacked myself in the forehead with the realization that he'd forgotten to make sure that Kouryou-chan had used the bathroom before going to bed. I summarily dumped her back into her own bed and proceeded to clean up our bed as well as I could. Omaha and I were deathly tired, so we sprayed it with pet stain stuff, covered with an old towel, and went back to bed.
And then at 8:30 this morning, Kouryou-chan comes in and whisper "Mommy, Daddy. I'm awake. I'm dressed!" Groaning, we get out of bed. Neither of us got enough rest, but they weren't going to let us sleep. Even though we both knew perfectly well that minutes after breakfast they'd be out the door like a shot and into the yard to play.
I gave them cereal (we were out of eggs, so I couldn't cook anything breakfasty) and some strawberries (they didn't want any) and then Omaha and I returned to the scene of the crime.
( Doing chores. )
I have to say that CD audio learning has absolutely been an eye-opening experience for me. My teacher is infinitely patient and never gets annoyed when I mess up. This has been a perfect experience in language learning, at least for me. I watch the simpler animes, like Chobits or Kita Hei, and I have a "Hey, I understood that!" reaction. It's so interesting. I'm getting it!
( Roof cleaning party at Lisa's. )
Yamaarashi-chan had asked (no... begged) me to tape some anime pap of Sonic the Hedgehog. So I did, explaining to her the power of PVRs while I did so. She was very intrigued. The current art team working on the show is quite good although in it the anime tropes and shorthands are very commonplace to the point of cliche. And the frame rate is atrocious!
Because I'd eaten at Lisa's so late, I made hamburgers for dinner but didn't eat any. After dinner, we did Yamaarashi-chan's eye exercises once again-- she really needs an adult to watch her and make sure she does them right-- and now she's begging me to play Old Maid with her.
Tonight, I'm going to watch episode three of Chobits and then go to bed.
