By the Numbers

Going to bed on Sunday, I expected a slow four days of waiting to go to Colorado for the weekend. The days that actually stood between me and Colorado actually contained quite a bit:

• 40 hours of work
• 2 sick kids
• 4 chapters of Narnia read out loud
• 3 train tracks built
• 1 new apartment!
• 3 loads of laundry
• 5 episodes of Gilmore Girls
• 3 time outs for hitting given
• 17 subway rides
• 3 hours wandering Central Park
• 2 hours getting to and from the Hudson River to watch the Space Shuttle being brought to the museum
• 1394 (estimated) text messages about babysitting schedules and apartment stuff
• 2 bus rides
• 100 pages of Mere Christianity
• 3 puzzles
• 12 (at least) bumps and bruises kissed
• 1 good-bye to a friend for the summer
• 6 games of hide and seek
• 50 or so times I found myself singing this song. Listen to it:

And now, just a 4 hour plane ride! It will be wonderful to get away from it all for a bit.
