We worked out a solution to the sleep situation. I sleep in the bed originally intended for Daniel - it is the darkest and quietest and since I am the worst insomniac, that's where I go. Daniel sleeps in the room with his dad. While this is certainly not ideal, it works. I sleep better, and so does my husband, since I am not thrashing around trying to get comfortable AND kicking him every 5 minutes or so because he's snoring. :)

My mother keeps the dog out on the pullout sofa with her, and he doesn't get up and wander, nor bark. Yay!! I like him a little more today than I did yesterday.

Being home is so much fun, even if my husband and I get conscripted to be the slave labor. I cannot tell you how right it feels to drink Cheerwine in this county! Oh, and Daniel and his grandmother are at Discovery Place today....so we kind of get the house to ourselves.
