I miss the beach. We were all healthy then. Currently, we are working on 3 weeks of Someone not sleeping every night. I have slept in a twin bed for 3 out of 5 of the most recent nights.
It's amazing how much bigger a twin bed was in college than it is now. Remember, you and 7 of your closest friends would squeeze in to watch a movie on your 17 inch color t.v. - the one where you had to get up and turn the knob to change the channels? There was plenty of room then, why can I not co-sleep with a 3 year old in that same space?
My triathlon is on Sunday, and I am going to complete it even if I don't sleep again until Sunday directly after the race. I am going to complete it even if I get the horrible congested cough those kids have. I AM GOING TO DO IT!
That said, I miss the beach, I miss our beach vacation, I miss the good nights of sleep we got during that vacation. Back when everyone was healthy. People will dislike me for saying this, but I Hate Fall! This crazy weather-changing season is seriously cramping all of those grand Fall plans I made during that great Myrtle Beach trip (volunteering regularly at M's school, finishing in the top 50% of the triathlon, sleeping!). Bring back the beach and the beach weather, and those healthy beach-loving children! And could you do it Today? Please!!!
