Yo G! Go back to sleep!
I am totally confused and apathetic about what to post about these days, there are so many things I feel strongly about, and so little time to talk about them.
My family is not getting enough sleep these days, ruled by the iron fist of the Tyrant and his name starts with a G. Every night about an hour after he's put to bed he wakes up. You just get to sleep and bam! "Whaaaa"... and there is NO possible way he will go back to sleep by himself. Last night we tried leaving him... yeah, that ended up with baby vomit on his sheets and a change of clothing. This morning I tried getting him back to sleep and gave up quickly, he just wants to go into our bed and sleep with Mommy. Yes it makes me crabby, if you can't read between the lines.
Last night I was so tired and out of it that I went to take my inhaler and instead I grabbed my stick deodorant and almost took a bite out of it. And earlier that same day I was caught nodding off at my desk.... things have got to change.
Xavier went on his first field trip yesterday, he was just thrilled. He couldn't stop talking about it when I got home "We went on a school bus and we rode a tractor and we got to feed animals and..." . In fact this morning when he woke up he said "Are we going on another field trip today?" I'm really happy he is enjoying preschool, it's defintely good to hear he has friends there and that he can't wait to go. His eyes just light up when you say "You have school tomorrow!". I remember a time when mine did the same.
When I spoke of good things in the past post I was referring to the # of gigs I've had lately and other opportunities to play/record. We're also getting a 4×4 Honda quad from my father-in-law, which of course we can't use in the city but we could likely sell for a few thousand, it would help pay for my wife's teeth and some other stuff.

As for the G-Man, hang in there! Sounds like maybe molars are coming in. Even if it isn't hang in there it's only a phase. I as finally able to start sleeping through the night about 3 years ago. Did I mention my son is 7. :o
Okay, enough torturing you, I'll go away now. YOu have enough stuff to deal with.

honestly, you're living the dream. Take care of your kids, teach them to be self-sufficient adults who never ask for anything they can't get on their own; and you will have succeeded as a partner in a self-sustainable world.
