Year 2, Day 358: Soooooo Sleeepy

Ruby had a basketball game today at 8:30AM. I realized this at 3AM last night when I was going to sleep. I actually got up around 8 and thought we could make it. Ruby wasn't up; Emily told me to let her sleep until she woke up. When she did wake up she did NOT want to go play basketball. Though I was disappointed, I know when to hold em and when to fold em. We all went back to sleep.

There are times as a parent when you are called on to perform without much sleep; but then there are times when you are simply just tired. Today was the latter and I tried to drink a lot a lot of coffee to just get through it. I dragged Ruby to my barber shop by again bribing her with something from Dunkin' Donuts. This helped me feel much better. Amazingly, after that she wanted a slice of pizza, possibly a pavlovian response to the smell and appearance of her fave pizza restaurant. I really enjoyed the donut-pizza combo. One day I fear she'll have to watch what she eats. But today it did not matter one bit.
