Bacon is watching Lilo & Stitch. From the walls and ceilings that he is bouncing off of. In other words, he's feeling pretty good and is amped on steroids and whatever other crap is in his medicine.

Got the call from Lovely Wife a bit after 3:00, carried the two sleeping babes to the family truckster and went to pick up the lost family members. We were back home and in bed finally by 3:30.

Lovely Wife has taken the other two out to do some errands to give our little sicko some peace. Not that he seems to want any, of course. He sounds like a harbor seal but he's in hyperactive mode. Kids - you just can't keep 'em down.

Daddys, on the other hand, are easy to keep down. Make em stay awake half the night worrying and then wake em up early. I'm wondering how early I can put the troops to bed tonight so I can sneak off to my own repose.

1 I hope that little Bacon continues to be ok. I don't have kids, so I can't really imagine the hell that parents go through with worrying, but I can imagine that it's a new definition of "stressful", and I just want to tell you that you have "wonderful dad" stamped all over you. It's lovely, dearie. Sending you good wishes via the net.

2 Glad to hear the good news. Kids have a habit of seeming to be on the brink of death before recovering quickly and completely. I think it's a plot for parents making them eat vegetables.

3 Yeah, they sure can stress you out when they try. The medium guy seems fine today except for a rough cough. In addition to croup, he's got strep throat. Hey, no sense doing things in half measures, right? Buy he's in fine spirits and playing happily with Bear.
