Baby + Thunderstorm = No Sleep for Mommy & Daddy

I think the title says it all. I was super tired this morning, after Baby B was awake at 1:30 for his normal post-midnight snack and again from 3:30 to 5:00 a.m. His eyes were WIDE OPEN, and he kept looking at the window at the light show. Today I'm the "officer of the day", which means I have to be available and in the office all day, to handle any walk-ins or crises that may arise when someone's regular officer isn't here. And on Fridays, NO ONE is here. Anyhoo...I'm going to soldier on.

I went to pump, and realized that I had left vital pieces (ie valves) to my pump at home, so had to run to the store to buy replacements. Apparently, I had thrown everything in a bag this morning, except the thingies that make the pump work. Oops. That's tired, folks!

Drew left this morning to drive to New Orleans for a bachelor party for our friend Jacob. A bunch of guys in a 15 passenger van, spending the weekend in the Quarter. I asked if he wanted to take the camera, and he said, "No, too much liability". I'm not sure if he meant the camera might be damaged, or that it might capture things not meant for us delicate ladies to see. I don't think I want to know. I asked if I should set aside bail money, but Drew said he had plenty.

Drew and I decided to put King Ave. up on the market, so called the Trib and placed an ad, to start running on Sunday. Drew's cell phone was the contact number, and figured he could take calls on the way home from his trip. Only the Trib messed up, and started running the ad yesterday (apparently, because we already got a call). So, he may have a busy phone amidst the revelry. Should be interesting!

Well, that's it from Mid-Mo. Anyone wanting to come to Columbia to watch Bacchus while I take a nap this weekend, feel free! The guest room is open...zzzzzz.
