My mind is so clouded and full of tasks to do that I can hardly think straight.  Not that I have every really thought straight or that straight thinking is even desirable.  It must be the lack of sleep–Noah who was sick on Monday slept all day and then decided yesterday morning that he had had enough sleep come 3am.  It’s amazing that there is actual entertainment on at 3am–we watched Princess and the Frog (I still don’t think I have seen that movie all the way through), Handy Manny (I now seem to dream about talking tools) and a few other Disney channel shows.

I consider myself lucky to have such a variety of shows to turn on for my kid, while I try to sleep on the couch in the middle of the freaking night.  I think about how hard it must have been for my parents when we were up sick or just up at 3 am and there was nothing on TV and to even see if there was, one had to stand at the tv and turn the dial for the whole 5 channels that existed.  I am lucky enough to be able to lay down, with a pillow and blanket and turn from channel to channel.  Ah, the conveniences of modern life.  I don’t know what I would do without  you.  I’d really like my 4 year old to be able to work the remote himself…No need for him to grow up too fast.
