Friday Night Leftovers: Sleep and Crazy Edition

• This dissertation process is going to make me insane.  Not, crazy insane, but sobbing my eyes out, stressed to the max, unable to function insane.  I am almost there.  I keep thinking, "Once I get through... this data collection... this meeting... "  If you pray, if you send vibes, if you do voodoo, I could use any positive love, prayers, vibes, and thoughts you could send my way.  I'm at the end of my mental rope.  I need a break and for something, anything to just go smoothly.
• That being said, I don't understand the love of the bath.  I tried to soak this week as a way to relax and unwind and I soon remembered why I only climb into the bath about once a year.  I don't enjoy it.  I do bathe, however, I just prefer the showers.  Maybe it's my inability to just be still?
• Bean has learned to roll her eyes.  She practices this often.
• I think Blue might be a sleeper like Bean and I.  Oh, I hope he loves to sleep.  Please, please, please.
• Bean and I are definite night owls.  We have a hard time getting to bed and then want to sleep the mornings away.  Bee and Tot want to head to bed early and wake up early.  They both hit the ground running while Bean and I grump through our mornings.  Blue will tip the scales in this house one way or the other once his sleeping patterns develop more.
• Tot has been so good with Blue lately.  She really has become a very dependable and great big sister.  
• Did I mention the kids had yet ANOTHER "snow" day this week?  Rain, with a bit of freeze.  By 9:00 it was wet outside.  They had the whole day off.  Today the roads are covered with snow and they went to school on time.  I will never understand.
