Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This morning things happened to go pretty well. The rest of the day not so much. I'd like to go back to bed after a couple of drinks now, thank you.

7 hours!
Holy crap. The little guy slept from a little after 10 PM last night until 5:30 this morning. Yeah 5:30 AM was a little early for me, but I happily offered to get up and feed him when I realized just what had happened. That was the best night's sleep I've had since late March.

"victory has defeated you!"
Woof. Rain this morning convinced me to take the rush hour instead of the newly-cleaned madone. Gears spoiled me. When the heat comes back so will they, rain or not.

That backfired
More early morning adventures got me out of bed today, with a baby who takes great joy in being wide freaking awake at 3 AM. The really funny part is that sometimes singing to him will only make things worse, as it did this morning as I tried to sing the Beatles' "Good Night" after he was done with his bottle. His eyes shot open as soon as I started and he babbled through the entire first line.
Eventually he got back to sleep, and I realized I should stick to shushing him. Now to have my third cup of coffee in the hopes of making through the afternoon.

still yawning
It was my turn to take the late (or early) feeding last night. So when the little monster started fussing at 2:45 this morning I made up his bottle and got to feeding him.
Amazingly he barely stirred for most of the bottle. Even changing him went pretty well, until he woke up at the very end. He finished the bottle, and I thought I had him back asleep.
When I went to put him down, his eyes opened as soon as I set foot in his room. Okay, I sat back down in the dark to shhhhhh him back to sleep. Same thing happened on attempt #2, literally as soon as I crossed the threshold to his room. This time I wrapped him up like a burrito and really made sure he was asleep when I set him down. By that time it was 4 AM. Nice.
Each time he closed his eyes he was still making faces in his sleep. Making things more difficult, when he was awake he'd look right at me and smile, which is impossible not to laugh at, even at 3:30 in the morning. And laughing just wakes him up more. Eventually we were both able to get some sleep before starting the day today. And even though I'm pooped, thinking of that makes me smile. I fell asleep with a full heart last night, and it made getting up and riding to work that much easier. Now if only the rest of this week would hurry the hell up.

That's a rough last day

That about sums it up.
Actually, that's more like every day this summer. Not a bad thing.

more coffee please
There comes a moment during a usual morning that if I'm late past a certain point, it's time to stop caring and just let things happen as they happen. Today was one of those mornings. A rough night, a sick kid, and a hot dog walk all lead to leaving much later than usual, and not a fuck was to be given.
On an unrelated note, I love that my farmers tan has extended to include a tan line where my gloves end as well. It's time to start using more sun screen before I ride.

Had to happen eventually
There is nothing I don't find annoying when I'm on a late night run to pick up children's Tylenol.
