Oh my gosh, I think I had one too many Diet Cokes today. Here it is 1:30 am and the children are long gone to sleep and I am still tossing and turning and yawning and having caffeine spasms in my legs and I just can't get comfortable in bed, AND I'm sleeping on a Sleep Number bed on somebody else's number! It is just me and the hamster that are up. The hamster, I have discovered, is nocturnal and races around all night, which doesn't help when you are seeking sleep. He seems like a happy little guy tho, so I can't fault him.
I would have been fine, except I decided to take the kids to McDonalds because I have no idea what to make for them that they will eat. They had their Happy Meal and I had mine, which included the one too many Diet Cokes.
My daughter and her husband are gone for a couple days while they take their daughter to college in Rexburg, Idaho. After that they are going to Jackson, Wyoming for some R and R. They never get away alone together unless I happen to be around. Chris, my SIL, has been singing that he's "going to Jackson" for a week now. I think he has been looking forward to this. They will be back Monday, no doubt smiling.
Meanwhile, I think and hope that Hurricane Earl skipped over my house in Virginia Beach, VA. I don't know how bad North Carolina got it, but apparently it calmed down a bit as it swept north up the coast line. A very good thing.
I will leave you with a photo of Kathryn and her hamster collection as I bid you goodnight, and go off to bed to try again to sleep, perchance to dream.
Oh my my, your Christmas quilt is so pretty. And Kathryn is just beautiful, oh what a face!! Can you not change that Bed Number lol?
ReplyDeleteYou're scoring some major mother-in-law points, I'd guess, so that's a very good thing! LOL! I can't decide which it sweetest -- Kathryn or the quilt. :-D ...I don't know about the hamster.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

OMGosh, we had hamsters when my kids were young and we'd removed the running wheel at night so we could sleep!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you were finally able to sleep!!
Oh gosh - posting at that hour of the morning? poor baby!!!! NOT GOOD! Hope you have the opportunity to make it up today with a good nap.
ReplyDeleteShe is just the cutest little girl!! :) I do hope you got some sleep, woman...you know little people like big people with lots of energy. ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you get some sleep! I LOVE the quilt in the picture with your granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteMy kids had hamsters and I know exactly what you mean about the little nocturnal things, lol! My girls had them in the room next to my bedroom. I think this is when we made them start shutting their doorat night, lol! I can't have caffeine of any kind after 2:00 p.m. at the very latest or I'm up all night (that includes chocolate!). Have fun with the grandbabies! From what I heard on the news your house should be just fine :) Have a fun vacation!
