Watching the weather yesterday, I imagined today's soccer game being cancelled, and I relished the thought of getting some sleep.
Friday is the latest night Momma works, usually getting home sometime after 4:00 Saturday morning. It's hard not to stay up sometimes, thinking I'm waiting for her to get home, but I seldom actually stay up that late, especially if we have 9:30 soccer games Saturday morning.
We didn't get the shitty end of the storms, but we are getting plenty of rain, enough so that the games were cancelled. But did I get back to bed? I suppose I could have after my nine phone calls to tell families not to bother going to the fields. But I didn't, and no amount of wishing I had will get me that sleep I gave up on.
So the clock slowly wends it's way toward 10:00, and I'm the only one awake. I've lied about all the reasons to homeschool, and this is the true reason that you can sleep in. At least you can most days. I'm not saying you should, but you can. I'm a little surprised that neither of the boys are awake. I really expected The Boy to be up and about as this is his usual time. I'm not complaining that he isn't up as I'm actually getting a little peace and quiet, sadly rare and all too shortlived.
It's time to run to the garage. I can get another cigarette in before my shift starts.

Glad to hear you are all okay there. Was watching The Weather Channel a couple nights ago, and as you are one of only two people I know in TN (if by reading your blog I can be said to "know" you)... anyway I did wonder how you all were.
Come on now, Samuel. Let's see that 1st grade photo.
