A quick note

A typical night in the Strawn House:

Lars in bed by 7:00.

Eden in bed by 8:30
Eden out of bed by 8:45
Eden in bed by 8:50
Eden out of bed at 9:00
Eden in bed at 9:01
Eden out of bed at 9:15
Eden in bed at 9:15.3
Mommy stands guard at the top of the steps.

Mommy in bed by 10:30.
Daddy in bed ???

Eden in our bedroom 12:15
Eden in limbo between her room and our room, often sleeping in the hallway or stairs landing.

Lars awake at 12:30
Lars crying at 0100

Everybody back to sleep by 0200.

Every once in a while, the pager goes off and Mommy leaves.

Lars up at 0600

This week, however, was extended to include a baby with a cold, runny nose, fever and hacking cough. The hours between 0200 and 0600 filled with a deep wailing that kept even the dog from sleeping.

Interesting highlights of the week:

1. Sarah ordered NHL Center Ice on Charter, so now we can watch all the hockey games, Red Wings included.
   
2. Payton came to babysit in Friday night so the adults could have a date. We went to a loud Mexican Restaurant in Scottsbluff with the hottest salsa I've ever had the pleasure of tasting.
   
3. Sarah got her flu shot
4. Got caught dumpster diving (got some good stuff, though!)
   
5. VOTE 2008 and watching the election results and speeches
6. It snowed, causing the 1st snow day of the school year
   
7. 65 mph winds that shut down I-80 and Hwy 385
   
8. I vacuumed our wall to wall carpeted house all in one day.
   
9. Eden informed us that she wants to wear Lars' penis.
   

Guess that about does it. Have a blessed week everyone, and please, be happy who you are, not discontented of who you aren't!
