Ramble Warning:
The kids heard Taps and ran off to bed. [Have I mentioned how much we love the bugles?] I should go to bed soon too. We’ve been sleeping in way too late each morning. I believe this is caused by: 1. Going to bed at 2am. 2. Different Time Zone. 3. The heavy curtains blocking out all light.

I’m going to remedy the problem by: 1. Go to bed before midnight. 2. Leave curtains open. 3. Crack open a window so that the sound of Reveille wakes us up.

Why in the world do we want to wake up early? Free breakfast. I hear rumor that they’ve started serving a continental breakfast downstairs.

Notice that alarm clock isn’t on that list? I’m not going to ruin my morning with an alarm clock if I don’t have a job or a class to get to! I hate alarm clocks so much, I always wake up 3 minutes before the alarm is set just so that I can turn it off. My husband, on the other hand, sets several alarm clocks and hits snooze on all of them several times…

My guess is that he won’t be doing that tomorrow morning. He’s sleeping somewhere out in the woods tonight. Probably getting shot at or gassed… [don't worry, it's just a training exercise.]
Thankfully the weather is good. It’s 61 degrees right now and should get up to 70 tomorrow.

I wonder how he’s doing and what’s he’s up to right now. Imagine how much worse that helpless-not-knowing is when a spouse is actually at war not just training for it.
