Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Sorry about lack of sleep, Hec. That sounds rough.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think the worst part of the sleep dep was how snappish DH and I got with each other. When you're both exhausted, it's hard to be civil.

Last night kinda sucked sleep-wise for me as well. Got to sleep at 12:30, woke up at 4:00, tried to sleep until 6:00. Hopefully I'll just sort of pass out tonight and get a good 6-7 hours of sleep.

That's definitely an issue. She's down to just an hour long nap at daycare.

It's more that she keeps waking up and won't go back to sleep readily. This week (while we've been insisting that she sleep in her bed all night) she's up every couple hours like a newborn.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, I slept really bad last night. Downstairs guy was making a lot of noise; upstairs guy was yelling at him.

Also, yesterday I emailed my boss (who's in London) telling him I'd be in at 8:00 this morning, and if this was not OK he should text me. So he texts me at 1:00 a.m. (7:00 a.m. London time) to tell me 8:00 is OK. Of course that woke me up too. And then I woke up at 6:00 and couldn't get back to sleep....

Last night was full moon, so unless you have blackout drapes, the ambient light may be an issue (my mom has always had issues with it.)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

And then the 30 minutes I tacked on to the end of the recording weren't enough to catch the last minute or so of play!

I know! Challenges and blah blah blah back and forth. So you probably missed the last Saints interception.

If you put commas on fingers on both hands, and then you could make air quotes with style.

This is the most glorious Scola idea since chopsticks and Cheetos.

I've gone to 45 minutes extra on NFL games, they can really run long. I always watch on delay now and steadfastly avoid finding out what happened until I watch it. I don't think I can go back to not fast forwarding through commercials, time outs, and challenges.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Back to yesterday's quiz questions.

My dad, the engineer with a PhD missed all three due to careless reading.

My son, the 7th grader, got 2/3 and had done the right math for the third, but didn't answer the question asked.

My daughter, the college junior, got them all correct.

I had gotten 2/3 due to misreading the third question.

Not sure what that says about us as a family, other than emphasizing the need to slow down and double check what is being asked. And that applies to so many things in life.
