What do I do???

It is 10 days after Ryan's birth.

Just now the house suddenly the house emptied and I started frantically thinking...what should I do?? How can I make the most of this? What do I want to do that I can never do because I'm never alone these days? (I'm an introvert) Make a do list? Start a quick little organizing project??

So I guess I am writing about being alone since I don't know what to do(=

Mom in her ever-gracious spirit has started to take Layla for her evening walk. About sunset almost every day Tom has been taking Layla for a walk to a small shop to get a little treat and then walk home again. It takes about 45 minutes and it has been my sanity. They come back all hot and sweaty but I'm a happy mama. And you know what they say about Mama being happy...

So mom and Layla are out of the house.
And Tom just left to get his haircut. It is wonderfully relaxing process if the right guy does it. Steam towels, painstakingly long hair cut, shave with a straight razor, more hot towels, head rub, neck rub....some combination of all this is the TYPICAL hair cut for guys on our side of town for a mere $5. I can't remember if Tom says the price increased while we were gone. But still. How can you argue with that? The Man Spa is a more appropriate name, but for the atmosphere.....

On a newsy note:

Tom really has his hands full now that Ryan is here. Not that he's dealing only with Ryan, though he is up with me at night doing the feeding. I am not strong enough yet to actually feed him on my own. I just lay on the bed and Tom does the rest of the burping, diapering etc etc. It is just that now that the birth is over (PTL for that) our lives are switching gears and Tom has his hands full:
-trying to figure out how we can get a residence visa for us
-trying to sort out our ant infestation
-digging, cutting and general bush whacking through the thorn bushes that popped up around the back of our house during the last 18 months
-figuring out how to repair the car across town after the lady hit him the day we were crossing the border back into our side of town(!)
-the exact sequence of getting the paperwork for getting Ryan's offical birth certificate and then his passport...all of this requires crossing the border. We have no idea how they will respond to Ryan crossing the border without an official birth certificate let alone without a passport. They used to have a 30 day grace period, but nothing ever stays the same for long!
-getting the cash out to pay the hospital bills (requires a bunch of ATM trips timed to the US 24 turn over periods)
-doing all the grocery shopping for us as well
-paying bills and that is never a straight-forward process
-write an official newsletter since we haven't done that since we left the US
-write a CV for a potential job (not in the near future so don't get all excited, but CV needed now)
-paying attention to Layla who is a total daddy's girl and just wants to be with him all the time. She woke up from her nap today and wandered around a little. She finally found Tom and in a very excited voice says "Do you want to go snuggle in my bed!!?" How can a guy say no to that?

So anyway. Do pray for him - he has a LOT on his plate and there isn't much I can do to help him out.
