what a day, what a day

lucas woke up at 5 this morning - that's early... usually he's up at 6. we were out of cereal.just before his morning nap, he hit his head on the edge of the coffe table and now has a cut on the bridge of his nose. ow! he seems fine, but I almost passed out! i started seeing black and feeling dizzy, and sweating profusely, all i could do was keep rocking him until i got my head back on. an hour later we went to the pharmacy & grocy store & on the way down the stairs i slipped and bounced down two steps (i'm unharmed, more surprised than anything)... and THEN somehow i dropped my wallet on to the sidewalk on the way to the store. i made a big scene in the produce department asking if anyone had seen it, and found it while retracing my steps (it was UNTOUCHED - wow, imagine my luck!! there was 75 euros, two bank cards and my passport inside) . when we got back, the mail had arrived & we finally got a box from santorini with lucas' beloved "mutton noir" (a black sheep stuffed animal he loves best) that he left in the hotel room there, and a big fat envelope from the american embassy... seems we have som MORE paperwork to do. but that's a whole other blog entry, no problems, just a pain in the you-know-what. so, later today, we will go to pick up some mail at the old address, and go for lucas' monthly checkup and vaccinations. i hope nothing else happens today, or i'll have to go dig out my railroad train pyjamas.
