Doctor my eye....

Poor Shanny. She got up at 2 a.m. to check on Alex in his bedroom across the hall. He has been waking up in the dead of night lately, causing us to lose some valuable beauty sleep. Last night was more of the same, and while she was attempting to feed him a bottle of milk, he inadvertantly poked her in her left eye, scratching the cornea in the process. She had to miss a day of work, and has to wear sunglasses indoors and out for the next three days. At least it wasn't more serious. Why didn't he yell "duck!" first?
So I take over while she writhes in pain with her injured eye. I got him to fall back to sleep about 2:30. I go back to bed, only to have him wake me up again at 3:10. He was w-i-d-e awake, and wanted to play. I only wanted to sleep, but that didn't happen until he crashed just after 5 a.m. I went back to bed, and 40 minutes later, the alarm goes off. Bah! So tired. It's time for an afternoon Mountain Dew mixed with Red Bull. I hate Red Bull, but this is the only way I can tolerate it.
I'm contemplating getting a new tattoo next month while we're in Las Vegas. I have a month to decide what I'm going to do. But I like the idea. I've been a good boy, and I feel the need to misbehave a bit. And my cousin Sal just may meet us there that weekend and join in the mayhem. Or at least help create some.

lack of sleep, late nights, alex
