Recovering

NAUCC ended yesterday, with the Final Party. Today was a day of recovery.

Da-Doo relished having BOTH of his parents home with him, and was thrilled not to have to go off to watch unicycles ("No more noo-nees"). We spent the morning watching cartoons on the couch (television watching is a rarity at our house), and even ventured to the neighbor's to visit the lemonade stand. The afternoon saw all of us taking serious naps. At one point, I woke up, ate some mashed potatoes, then went back to napping.

We were intending to get the house cleaned up, cars cleaned out, and grocery shopping completed (as our best snack food currently is mashed potatoes). J made good headway in cleaning the kitchen, but we are still left with a seriously trashed house.

None of us is looking forward to going to work/daycare tomorrow, and being faced with the prospect of house/yard work upon returning home tomorrow night is depressing.

NAUCC was utterly crazy, and we were left bone-tired by Day 2 of 7. Our long distance events went off great, and we made it to two different pubs on our Unicycle Pub Crawl before we were rained out. Spent a little time with lots of friends we see only once a year, but weren't able to spend good chunks of time with the many people we were hoping to.

As I type this, I'm back to laying on the couch once again, still exhausted even after a day of sloth, faced with a house that is showing more than a week's worth of neglect. But, yes, it was more than worth it!
