What a frustrating night!  Not only am I not going to be able to go and get the circular needles I need, but our checking account is overdrawn $50.  This means that we have zero funds until the first of June AND we will get charged a bunch of fees for bouncing checks.  I don’t even remember the last time I bounced a check.    I hope there aren’t any emergencies because I really don’t want to ask mom for help yet again.  I feel like such a loser asking for help.

Another quick vent:  My computer is really ticking me off!  Ever since getting the MSN hotmail & Messenger (which I think is the real culprit) it keeps crashing like crazy…I had to hard boot my computer 5 flippin’ times today! HARD BOOT!  I had to soft boot it another 3 times.  In the half hour the knitting class met, I was able to be there for about 5 sentances toward the end.  I spent the rest of the time dealing with freeze ups and crashes.  I was SO ticked.  I remembered today why I avoid Micro$oft stuff if I can…black box testing.  grrrrrrrr!  (non-geeks…basically, they use the consumer to test it instead of figuring it out themselves before we get the product)

In better news, I am so close to being done with ds’ LTK Easy Peasy sweater that he might even be able to try it on tomorrow.  I just have a few more inches of the front panel and sewing it together.  I hope it looks decent.  Of course, it is now warm enough that he probably won’t use it for a few months, but I made it big, so it should be good.

In response to the question about our sleep schedule:

Like Feebee, we just have our sleep time shifted from what is “normal”, but usually get enough sleep.  The typical bedtime for ds is 1-2 am, waking up around 10am – noon.  It sometimes wanders outside of that to 2-4am (and sometimes even later, but not often) but we work to get it back to our normal time.  I would like to move it more towards midnight again, but it needs to go slowly or it can cause much more problems than it solves.  The worse time is when he will go on a sleep fighting stage and is up for 20 hours straight.  I don’t know how he does it, but it will screw us   up for weeks.  Honestly, I know exactly where it comes from…dh and I are both the same way…left to our own devices we would rotate 20 hours awake, then 10 hours sleep, 20 hours awake, 10 hours sleep….and on and on.  We just seem to both have a natural 30 hour clock in our heads instead of the normal 24 hour clock…makes it hard to conform to schedules at times!

Ok, now some pictures from the last few weeks

“Family Fun Day” at WSU

Zane was loving the watermelon.  Zach needed to keep him on his shoulders to keep him from running away.  For some reason, his head was sticky when he got home.

 

Some more “let’s wear weird things as hats as we go about our daily routine”.  lol.

    I seem to recall reading that people put in an environment where they controlled all light/dark (no natural lighting at all, like a cave) and where there were no timepieces ended up on a 30-36 hour schedule like you describe. Something like 12hrs sleep, 24hrs awake or a variant like you all would have.

  • Let’s open our hearts in prayer. Gracious and loving God your son taught us that your kingdom is among us. Yet so often we treat life as something to be gotten through instead of something to be embraced and to be cherished. We look ahead to the end of the work day, to the week-end, to the summer vacation, to retirement, and we forget that the only time we will ever have is now. Open our eyes and open our hearts so we know that we cannot collect the moments we waste and store them for future use, and we cannot hide our love away, protecting it, thinking the ideal time will someday arrive when we can reach into that vast reservoir of love we have saved up and joyfully pour it upon the world. Tomorrow may never come and we cannot relive a single wasted yesterday. Today is all we will ever have. Grant us the wisdom to understand that now is the time to embrace the fragile beauty of life and now is the only time we will ever have to love the people you have placed beside us for this mysterious and beautiful journey. — Gary Cox, pastorial prayer, after his terminal cancer diagnosis.
