Is it my age?
Is it that I have an infant?
Am I just cranky?

Why does having my sleep interrupted take such a toll on my days?  And I hold a grudge about it, too!  In college, I pulled several all-nighters when there were exams or papers to be done.  I bounced back in short order and certainly never felt annoyed with anyone about it. 

Now, I'm mentally handing out demerits to the perpetrators of the crime throughout the remains of the day/s.  Last night was a Triple Whamee in the precious sleep department.  (And that's WITHOUT factoring in being engrossed in a good book at bed time.)  The baby woke up screaming at 2 something, was brought downstairs by the King, and remained in our bed until 5:15, which meant I couldn't lay straight or really sleep deeply at all for fear of smushing him or getting the pillow over him.  I put him back in his crib when I did beause the King's alarm went off -- some 3 times (need to disassemble that snooze button) -- because he needed to catch a flight.  Couldn't sleep until he got out of the house, an hour or so later.  Then there was the dog.  She's still sleeping in the laundry room and I didn't want to risk an accident, so in spite of the fact that my body was screaming "no, no, for the love of Pete, no!" I got up early to take her for a walk.

And did any of these thieves say "Sorry I robbed you of your beauty sleep?" or "Can I make you a pot of coffee?" 

So, in addition to feeling very sorry for myself, I'm blurry-eyed and grumpy and plan to drink a WHOLE pot of the coffee [that I made for myself].  Wonder if having a Bionic Coffee Machine and a frother like Anotherblogonthefire would make a difference?  If nothing else, the organic half-and-half I bought after reading about nasty milk additives at Sixredheads should perk(!) me right up.

you all have far more organic choices for much better prices in your walmart than we do here.
I just ordered two boxes of my absolute favourite organic tea and the bill will be just a fraction less than $20. Milk would cost us $8 if we bought organic and cheese would be closer to $10. butter? out of the question. I would be 100% organic in a second if I could convince Neal of the trade off in the cash department ... art isn't cheap either and we are compelled to create ...if only I didn't know why organic is so much better
