THING'S TO REMEMBER AT NIGHT....

--One of the first thing’s I try very hard to remember at night is putting my glasses on. And then the list goes from there. It’s a little game I play before I get out of bed.  Next is shoes so you don’t step on anything pointy in your path. Of course like any good parent the only thing that will short circuit the list is a cry of help.
--Over the years after many adventures of stumbling around and then realizing that perhaps glasses before shoes is a better idea. It’s amazing how much a dang fool wall will bring that fact to your attention after walking smack into it a few times more than needed.
--Of course we've also had to teach the children what in Sam hill a emergency is. And when it's a good idea to wake up dear old dad. Like a little tiny spider crawling on a wall, not really a good idea. A spider the size of a small truck chewing a whole through the wall I guess maybe.
--But seriously you get the point. Over the years I think I’ve spent more time walking back and forth than sleeping. And not all of the emergency's were really all that important. You heard a noise no that’s not an out rages ordeal a troll standing there with a head dripping blood and a big ole ax in his hand then ok you can wake me up by all means. I have to admit the children have gotten better. And now will even bring me a cup of coffee when they have to wake me up for something.
--Now if I can just convince the dang fool cat to start showing my wife his mouse conquest's in the middle of the night instead of me I’ll be doing something after all it‘s her cat....
