Sleepin' in...

I joked with my wife last night that I was going to sleep in today.

Oh yeah... It's Saturrrrrday, and I'm gonna sleep in to at least 8AM baby. There is nothing I have to do other than sleep. I AM THE MAN, the bread winner, the King of the castle, in control of my own destiny. I am 1 you DO NOT want to F with today. I am maximum grade A tryptophan fueled Superfly. As long as it involves sleep, bring it! 

I almost made it too... 7:51.

The reality is that for the last four or five years I have been waking up about 6AM no matter what time I go to bed. To sleep in until 11AM, I would have to stay up until six.

I'm a morning person now.

How long until I have to eat dinner at 4PM?

Lake Orion, Michigan.

I'm not sure if the people in Lake Orion Michigan don't know how to pronounce, or spell their cities name..  

What's in a name?

The other day I was listening to NPR radio and there was a story on a woman that wrote a book about how bad it is for little girls to be treated like "girlie girls".. Being called "Princess" by everyone, and expected to wear or like the colour pink, wearing make up at too young an age etc..

So what is this writers daughters name?

It has to be a more tougher name like: "Maxine", Broomhida," or "Jefferina" right?

Nope... Daisy.

The End is clear...

I’m 48 years and I have dreams. I dream that I save people, but wake up in the middle of the night saving nothing. 

    All this started when my daughter Emily was born in 1994, and has continued on ever since. I would dream that newborn baby Emily was on the edge of my bed, slowly falling away from me. I would wake up with my heart pounding reaching for Emily over my wife, who had been sleeping. 

    I have also saved my daughter Sarah many times. Sarah is three years younger than Emily. In the dreams involving Sarah there is either something falling slowly on top of her, or worse, she is already trapped under something heavy, and I am trying to lift it off her. I wake up from these dreams lifting the night stand up, knocking books, lamps, and the clock over. 

    When I awake from these dreams, I am done sleeping for the night.
