View From the Bushes

Normally I wouldn't even bother to post something this late but I feel like I should make some acknowledgement of the great comments on yesterday's blog. Also, there's an update on the 12DailyPro saga; they made it on the front cover of the Wall Street Journal (that's actually a link to CNN, the WSJ article is subscribers only). Generally, making it on to the front cover of one of the major national newspapers is either very good, or very bad. I'm confident that this is the latter.

I started coming down with a cold Wednesday night. It was pretty bad yesterday but I went to bed relatively early. Unfortunately, my number one son decided to start throwing up sometime in the wee hours of the morning. And I ended up getting vomit-duty (the parent who sleeps next to the sick child and lunges at them with a bucket the minute they start making gagging noises). I'm not sure how I wound up with this cherry assignment. I think I must have won the coin toss...

In any case, I initially left the bathroom light on so that I could see what was happening, but after an hour of unsuccessfully trying to fall back asleep I turned the light off. This allowed me to fall back asleep, but I still had to go from sleep to lunge every 45 minutes which is not conducive to deep sleep. As a result, I was pretty enervated today, so I sweet talked my boss into letting me go home early, blew off my last meeting of the day, went home and took a nap. Man, that really hit the spot.
