Damn it's rough being old and trying to function on less than five hours of sleep.
We spent last evening at my sister's new house babysitting her baby. He was very good all night. He ate his dinner and a big chunk of Jen's. He was smiling and playing and squirming around and being great. We had two short crying moments. First when we were changing him and then later when we put him to bed. We definitely heard two words clearly, "mama" and "dada". We might also have heard something that might possibly have been "yes" but we're not sure.
Lisa and Ken were at the Red Sox game which just happened to go into extra innings (after the Sox blew a nice healthy lead... the jerks). So they didn't get home until after midnight, and they actually left before the game ended. We got home a few minutes after 1:00am and then the alarm clock went off at 5:30. Nice!
Jen and I both went to Lisa and Ken's straight from work which meant both of our cars were there. When we left we decided to take one car and leave the other there. Which of course meant we had to leave home early this morning to go get it. It resulted in me getting to work very early, Lisa and Ken live about half way between me and work, and Jen getting there a little late. She had to ride with me way out of her way and then drive back. Sorry sweetie.
The sleepiness is taking it's toll. I currently have an IV dripping caffeine directly into my blood stream. I must also admit to having had a Snickers bar for breakfast. Not healthy, but satisfying... as the jingle says.
Tonight there are no plans. Just staying home and hanging out with the kids. Perhaps hamburgers on the grill are in order?
