Yep, its 3:10am and I could do Calculus I am so awake. Is it the Pepsi at 3pm or monkey mind? Perhaps that is a poll question??!?! I would ask Paul to set it up, but he is deep in sleep. Jake is sleeping in Tyler’s bed b/c Tyler has been in Anna’s top bunk for months now. When I poked my head in, Jake looked at me with eyes that were BEGGING not to be sent back to the couch–or God forbid…THE FLOOR! I let him be.
I finished an awesome book tonight (at 9pm, not just now). Time Travelers Wife. Holy CRAP! I BAWLED through the last 20 pages. Paul was chuckling at me. It was what Oprah refers to as the “ugly cry.” My nose was so stuffed up that Paul made a special effort to fall asleep before me so he could not hear me sawing logs. I take after my daddy-o on that one (sorry, Dad–you know its true! Elli does too, but I am not sure she admits it).
3:15am…#1 way to stop eating peanut butter out of the jar: Let Barton lick the spoon. I woke up with my stomach growling (add that to the poll) so my quick snack is a spoonful of PB. Which became 2 tonight. Luckily Barton is in the kitchen chair next to me (with his sleepy eyes wondering where his sleepaholic mom went to and when is she coming back) so he saved me. Bob K.–I know you will especially like this part. Bridge, I think you should send it to him at work today to make sure he sees it. Although perhaps our family website is his homepage at the DOD??
3:17am…speaking of Bridgette–she sent me one of my fav pics of myself so I will share it w you too. I had gone to surf camp that spring so I tried my hand at it that summer. Yeah, I need more practice.

OK, Barton is purring his siren song so I am going to give this sleep thing another shot. The alarm goes off in 1 hour and 29 minutes. Tick tick tick tick…
