Sleep

-
I had the best night of sleep yet.  I had to put my ear plugs in at about 4 am, because Hugh was snoring and I didn't want to wake him to get him to stop.  I slept right through Calder getting up at 7:30 am awoke at  8 am.  Don't get me wrong, I am still exhausted, but one good night's sleep feels really nice.

I wish I could say the same for Hugh.  In the limited words we exchanged this morning, he said that when I heard him snoring it must have been during the few minutes of sleep he got last night.  When I came out to the living room this morning Calder was playing with his cars and Hugh was sleeping on the couch.  I told Hugh he should have woke me up when Calder was stirring.  I would have gotten up with him if Hugh was so exhausted, but Hugh thought since I was still sleeping he didn't want to wake me up.  I immediately sent him to bed.  He must be utterly exhausted, because he usually puts up a fight when I give him an order like that! I hope I don't see him until at least lunch.

Until then I will occupy myself with Calder, cars and coffee.

Calder missed nailing our baby's arrival by 4 hours. Boone James Hamilton was born at 3:59 this morning. Boone is doing well. We got back some positive test results today and will hopefully get the remaining few tomorrow. He gets to spend the night with us and at this point that is all we can ask!

Another embarassing one

On Tuesday, I had this brilliant post formulated in my head. Then just before supper the power went out. Although the internet went down with the power, I still could have just written it on the computer to publish in the morning. Instead, I took full advantage of a sick child (who slept on the couch most of the evening) and a husband who was in the city (at his Grade 8's Farewell). I read. And also did some texting. But mostly I read (There was a moment that I thought I should conserve the power on my cell phone in case it the power took its sweet time coming on, but it was short lived. I figured that I could always go charge it in the van. Hugh was glad that it didn't get to that. He pictured me not getting the garage door open (I would have had to have manually open since there wasn't any power). Then he pictured me sitting in the van dying of carbon monoxide poisoning. I wish he would have given me a little more credit when this elaborate daydream was running t...

Guest Post Luke: Men at Ikea

     I've recently been blessed with 2 trips to Ikea in the last 3 months, and with a lot of time on my hands while in Ikea I came to notice a few similarities in all the men walking around there.   As I was taking notes on every man I saw, and mostly myself , I came up with different types of guys and what their role was with their significant other.          The first guy, who I believe to be the most common, is "The Turn Back Man".  This man believes that, just like in racing, if he stays in front of his significant other he can use drafting to increase her speed and keep her on track.  This never works and he subsequently becomes the "Turn Back Man".  He is constantly 4 steps ahead and turning back over and over when SHE sees something else they "might" need.  It is tough, because when entering Ikea men want to do as little walking as possible, but this has us taking even more steps. It is the slight chance that ...
