Family & Friends,
For the first time in "I don't know how long", and after almost two solid days of no sleep at all (I think I pulled an "all-nighter" the night before - haven't done that since my college days), I slept for a solid nine and a half hours straight. The ole saying that "sleep is overrated"? I never loved it so much as last night. I almost fell asleep at the wheel on the way home from work (Victoria said to me after I told her this, "Don't leave me now!") and also literally dosed off in the middle of our "Skip-Bo" game last night with Xiao Qian and Victoria. I definitely "crashed".
I'm off to work today, but wanted to thank everyone for their loving encouragements from the last post. That was written after our melt-down night (seems like we have one right after every adoption, and I'm sure many more will come). It needed to be gushed, written and worked out. The Lord has been, and is our sustenance, and He met us (as He always does) in our greatest hour of need. Victoria's day with the girls yesterday couldn't have been better. It was time for the other members of the family to scatter for awhile. And it's now time for me to scatter again for work. I just couldn't leave the house without writing to all of you; "Thank you so very, very much."
Awaking,

Glad you got some sleep, Tom - jetlag combined with exhaustion is enough to make anyone break down! Somewhere beyond punch drunk but before spontaneous dozing seems to lie an area that I like to call, "I'm going to cry, I'm so tired."
