Are there really still farmers somewhere who truly benefit from the hour shift? I think now it is just a way to screw with the already fragile little bodies of our children. Can I get an &#8220;Amen&#8221; here?<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow. We are all really tired and not sleeping well. When Addie isn&#8217;t in our room proclaiming &#8220;I&#8217;m hungry, is it time to go downstairs?&#8221; at 4:30am, (And explain this to me. If we didn&#8217;t have daylight savings, it would be 3:30am, what is she doing up at that un-Godly hour??) then there is Tiger meowing at the top of her tiny, little cat lungs.<\/p>\n<p>She pretty much wanders around and just meows now. Loudly. I don&#8217;t know if she is looking for Smokey, worried we are going to take <strong><em>her <\/em><\/strong>to the vet, or just taking advantage of us not locking her into the back half of the house (because we feel so guilty &#8211; she would be back there by herself!) &#8211; or maybe it is a little of all three. But, I have been awakened by her at least 4 or 5 times every night for the past 4 or 5 nights.<\/p>\n<p>So, tonight? She is getting locked in. (Don&#8217;t feel too badly for her &#8211; she gets the whole playroom, kitchen, bathroom and laundry room to herself. And besides, she had her chance!)<\/p>\n<p>I need some sleep. I am running the <a href=\"http:\/\/barelycontrolledchaos.wordpress.com\/2008\/03\/08\/no-longer-a-tri-virgin\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pasadena triathlon<\/a> again on Saturday. I haven&#8217;t mentioned much about it because I&#8217;ve been more than a little worried that I was not going to get to do it again this year. And I don&#8217;t feel nearly as prepared as I was last year, but at any rate&#8230;that is where we will be tomorrow morning. Trying to finish the race, hoping the adrenaline kicks in.<\/p>\n<p>Providing we don&#8217;t just all sleep through the alarm.<\/p>\n<p>Wishing you all a very happy weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;we made it!
