"...there is nothing more destructive of the human psyche than to be forced to doubt the veracity of what one's own elementary observations demonstrate, simply because they conflict with a prevailing and unassailable orthodoxy." Dr. Theodore Dalrymple

***VACATION***

Well obviously I don't need a vacation from my blog - I'm so bad at this. In any event, this is our first *real* vacation in a very long time. We're not doing anything too spectacular, but just lazing around sounds soooooooooooooooooooooo good.


Anyway, I think they should have named it "Wisconsin."

Happy Father's Day

I'm so lucky to have 3 great dads in my life right now.

My dad is wonderful man - truly a gentleman in the classic sense. I'm hard pressed to think of anyone who doesn't like and admire him. I think my best memory of me and my dad is when we went to Florida when I was about 8 years old. We went to the beach and spent what seemed like hours playing in the surf. He would pick me up and throw me into the incoming waves and it was just so much fun.

My father-in-law is also a really nice person - funny and open and generous.

I'm also very lucky to have my husband. He is so wonderful with the boys and always there for them. Jeff and Dylan are so crazy together - the two of them and their goofiness always keep me laughing. Jeff is also just mad about Noah. I've hardly seen anyone be so patient with a kid. Noah is a Daddy's boy through and through.

I hope all of you have a great Father's Day!!! Love you much!!

3 am

I hate when I can't sleep. My husband just lays down, closes his eyes, and falls asleep. How does he do that? Unless I'm at the point of complete exhaustion, I toss and turn and fret and worry. I suppose I could take pills, but I hate to do that. I have to be bleeding out the eyes before I go to a doctor for pills. My mom swears by this OTC stuff called melatonin, but I've never tried it. I guess it's not a big deal to be up this late on a Saturday - but this happens on weekdays and that's really bad. I've been a bad sleeper ever since I was a baby. Anyway, I'm just rambling now - I'm really tired, maybe I should go read something boring or watch something dumb on TV. Anyone with any tips - let me know.
