The Polar Express

It is 3:16 and it is so windy it woke me up. The wind-chimes are dancing and the cats are totally freaked out. And then I realized I was hungry, so I got up. I also took something off the front porch that I thought might not be there in the morning. It sounds like a freight train out there!

As my friend,  Jip the Farm Dog, could tell you , it is not unheard of that I would wake up at a super stupid time, especially when I have a lot on my mind. This is not one of those times. It really was the wind. So I did the porch retrieval (and let in the arctic BLAST) and had a Pumpkin Spice Flax bar (leftover from when Ab-Cat was in the hospital this summer, they are ok but we like the peanut butter ones better, probably why this one was still kicking around) and looked to see if I had any comments. Cause I have to check that several  times a day, you know. I didn’t.

The kids and I were excited to watch a NEW episode of “House ” last night. We are very tired of the writers strike around here. Really missing Jack and the Gang at CTU (24), all our favorite Heroes, and most especially the folks at Dunder Mifflin (The Office). I had to say what the shows were really called cause as strange as it sounds to me, I can think of several who read this who probably wouldn’t know who those people were. We also watched American Idol. This is our kids favorite part of the process and my least. I start liking it when they get to Hollywood.  The people at this stage are worrisome. I hope none of them live near us. The next big excitement will be “Lost”, and 2 out of 3 kids will be returning for their viewing pleasure. Little Girl says she is done with it cause they killed off Charlie.

Well, I am going to go back to bed and try again. It doesn’t seem any calmer, but my belly is full and my eyes are a tad heavy.  Dang wind.

    How did you know that was the first thing I thought when I saw 3:16? What kind of insane person would be up at that hour. Hope you were able to go back to sleep and get some ZZZZZZZs.

    I did, probably from 4:30 to 6. So I wasn’t a total zombie at BSF.

    I didn’t know you were a LOST fan….I watched it Wed. and Thur. nite. I hope Little Girl saw it, since Charlie isn’t really dead,…..are any of us ever?! Which reminds me of BSF…..we need to talk!

    I think that Charlie is still alive–so you better tell Av to continue to watch! :)
