I can take a small dose that will only help facilitate a couple more hours of sleep, and shouldn't make me too groggy. I only occasionally do it, and only when I don't have to be anywhere before like 2pm.

And you're not not helpful.

In the meantime, I'm re-watching "Slapsgiving," which very well may be one of the funniest 30 minutes of television I've ever seen.

I'm sorry you had trouble with the sleep, vw.

I am up because yesterday, right before I left, I was informed that I had a much larger role than expected in today's 3-hour planning meeting for our ABA site inspection in 2009. I nodded and smiled at the information but didn't do anything to prepare because I still can't believe we're preparing for it this early.

eta: And it's snowing outside - DC commuters will be all in a tizzy.

The insomnia fairy is working overtime. *sigh* Liv cried out at 4 and I got up to check on her and couldn't get back to sleep. She ended up crawling in bed with us at 5 and then I REALLY couldn't get back to sleep so here I am, catching up on emails and posting a listing to sell our old washer and dryer.

yawn I've been up for an hour or so, as usual, but haven't made it to the shower since it is 53 outside! I shut off the A/C last night and opened the windows so it is very chilly in here. I'm wrapped in a blanket. Woo! I love a brief cold snap. I'll wear a sweater! Well, layers because it will still be near 80 later.

Hope you are getting a bit more rest, vw.

Jars, sounds like it would have been a good day to stay home. Yuckers.

I hope you can get some more sleep, vw.

Jars, sorry about the sucky morning.

Does anyone know how to disarm a car alarm? I can't get the little remote to work. I can't remember if it is set or not, but I'm afraid to find out.

Woo! I love a brief cold snap. I'll wear a sweater! Well, layers because it will still be near 80 later.

Ha! I'm still enjoying the pretty snow up here. We got a fresh inch or two last night. It's a balmy 12 degrees this morning. Coffee's on and I really hope my LL Bean order gets delievered today. It has slippers in it.

We have Snow. Emeline still loves it and doesn't quite understand why Mommy and Daddy grumble and bitch. "But it's a perfec' day, Momma!" she yells at us.

Things to buy:
*Snow/Ice Scraper
*Snow boots for me
*Snow boots for Em (see Susan? You Are Not Alone)
*Hat for me
*Windsheild wiper fluid

I'm in a coffeeshop. I was going to take the bus to the airport, but now I'm wondering if I should metro to the end of the line and take that bus, just in case traffic is ridiculous. Whcih is STUPID because there is next to no snow (it's not sticking), but....this IS DC....

No advice on the car alarm? I'm afraid to go outside and deal with it.

Aimee, when Christopher was out buying his snowblower, he brought home a long-handled, deluxe snow scraper for me and some Rain-X de-icer. Along with THREE gallons of windshield wiper fluid (I tend to use A LOT of it during the winter).

sj, never had a car alarm, so I'm unsure. Does your fob need a new battery?
