Tuesday Musings

What is it about the 'Phantom Cry'? I hear it everywhere. Like when I turn the shower on. I turn it off and go to check and all is silent. I hear it while I am getting my hair cut. I hear it when the music is on. I heard about this phantom cry before he was born and it really truly exists. So weird. I just want to comfort this phantom baby and keep it from crying.

Why am I entertained watching HS kids slip and slide up the steep snowy road in front of our house?
Does the girl with slip on shoes really think she is going to be able to push the car up hill on a snow covered road?
How many high schoolers does it take to push a car up hill on a snow covered road? 3? Nope 4 might do the trick.
How many are going to get stuck all in the same place? 5? 6? every which way.
Amateurs.

Why do all the cars get stuck right in front of the dining room window?
Hope no one crashes in the yard.
Why is my "Why" highlighted in yellow? Can't get it off.

I am so happy my baby slept 6 hours straight again last night. He did it Saturday night. The next night, not so good, last night we may be getting the hang of this. Maybe...

I hear a cry, is it the Phantom baby? Nope it's the real one. Better go give some hugs and snuggles.

My phantom baby also cries every time I'm in the shower. So then I hurry up and shave as fast as I can and end up cutting myself and once I'm out I realize that no one's crying. Hopefully you'll learn catch on to this faster than I did. Good job, Dane, on sleeping for such a long stretch!
