I'm so tired, you could put me on a car.

     I couldn't sleep last night, I wound up reading most of a pretty boring book which I won't spoil here until I finish it.  Who knows it might get better.

     Anyway, I didn't get any sleep last night, then woke up to just enough snow to be hazardous without being enough to actually play in.

     Somewhere I found the energy to bundle up Piper (my 5yo) and take her outside before school so she could play and make snow angels, then I made her some hot chocolate and got her ready for school.

     My wife came home to me standing at the sink, hands in rapidly cooling dishwater, eyes closed, swaying slightly but fully upright, and as asleep as anyone ever was.

     Did anybody else ever just forget that they were tired until they were literally 'dead on their feet'?  Or am I just weird?

     These are the kinds of things I think about when I'm trying (and failing) to take a midday nap.

     See you tomorrow, loyal readers.
