ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......

I've always wondered what goes on up inside your brain while your subconscious mind sleeps. How do little boys (Stuart and Dan, sorry guys) end up in their neighbor's homes in their underwear?  Why was my mom looking for her keys in the fridge in the middle of the night.   What is going  on when  I take my temperature at 5:00 in the morning  and not remember doing it.
 
My favorite sleeping stories are of my mom though in high school.  When I would get home at night she'd make me wake her up so she'd know I was home.  I did one night and she asked me a ton of questions about my "high school night" for at least 10 minutes.  This was a thorough conversation.  About 4 hours later at 4 in the morning she tore in my room, flipped on the lights, sighed heavily, and said..."why didn't you wake me up"!   Of course I thought she was nuts, but after a few more encounters like this I got used to leading mom back up to bed when I found her digging around somewhere.  

If we are ever able to have kids we've already talked about the fact that we may need to invest in some of those locks that sit at the way top of doors that kids can't reach:)

Hi guys, it was great seeing you both last weekend and I especially enjoyed church and listening to Dan's message. I hope both of you are doing okay with the storm that continues to brew around you...I keep wishing it away but that doesn't seem to be happening. I still can't believe it. Is there someone I can beat up for you? or...I know some people.....tee hee .. love u both Mom B.
