Last night we drove up to the house after our dreamy date to find my sister sitting in the driveway with the truck running and The Boy sleeping with his chin resting on his chest in his car seat.  I'm sure he was very comfy.  Boy, did he show her.  After sleeping in his Little Tikes car for 15 minutes and screaming in refusal of all beds, she took him for a drive around the corner.  She said he didn't even make it past the 3rd house.   She was panicked that he would wake up if she moved him so there she was, on my laptop, at 1:23 a.m.  Poor girl.

She told me that she was too tired to drive home and so I let her stay. 

J:  Where should I sleep?
K:  Derek can sleep with The Jackknife in the cold room and you can sleep with me in the comfortable warm bed.
J:  You sure Derek won't mind?
K:  Who cares?

I found her sweatpants and a t-shirt to wear and I climbed into bed.  She came back from the bathroom, turned out the light and got into bed beside me.  When I opened my eyes, what did I see?

Light.

I swear, I am 30-something years old and my sister STILL knows how to push my buttons.  I slammed out of bed.

J:  But I shut the door??!!
K:  And left the @#$% BATHROOM LIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  IT'S SHINING IN MY EYES.
J:  You have to go around 2 corners to get to your bathroom.  How can it --
K:  HOW DO YOU PEOPLE AFFORD YOUR ELECTRIC BILL WHO LEAVES THE BATHROOM LIGHT ON WHEN THEY GO TO BED ARE WE BACK IN JUNIOR HIGH AND HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN?

I could hear her giggling as I slammed into the bathroom to turn the light out.  There we were, 20 years ago, when we shared a room.  She would come into the room, then leave the room.  Walk across the hall, turn on the bathroom light, come back and crack the door.  Regardless of where my bed was in the room, I was blinded by the light.

MMMMMMOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!  MAKE JENNIFER SSSTTTTTOOOOPPPPP!!!!

Years of torturing me.  If it wasn't that, it was setting the alarm for 4:45 a.m. and hitting the snooze every 9 minutes for the next 2 1/2 hours.  Where do those people come from?  You set the alarm, you get out of bed when it goes off.  If you had a particularly late night, you snooze once.  Just once.  That is it.  People should be shot for Snooze Misusage.

I got back in bed and we discussed politics and childbirth until 3 a.m.  If you lived in my area you would realize that childbirth is looking fun compared to politics.  Please stop the "I like puppies" t.v. ads.  They are killing me.

Best line out of Jen today before she left.

"You know you're a liberal when you feel bad that Saddam Hussein got the death penalty."

My husband looked at me and I just shrugged my shoulders.  Only Jen.  You gotta love family.
