Today has been a day of days. At least the morning has.
I've had very little sleep, primarily becasue my oldest son has been sick the last day or so. He;s been running a fever probably from a cold. WE've been judiciously dosing him with Motrin to help keep the fever down, but last night he refused to take it. He was irritable and kept swinging between wanting to take it and not wanting to. This in turn led to very little sleep. Parents of three year olds know this as a fact of life. It it always some kind of dichotomy that drives these youngsters. Finally around 12:30am he took his medicine and within 20 minutes his fever had dropped 2 degrees, which made my wife and I feel better.

But that was just the start.
Around 6:45am or so I recieve a call from my wife and she's had a blowout on the way to work. Today is my late day at work so I don'thave to be there until 11am. So much for my morning.
Truth be told it's not been all bad. The tire place was just up the street and they opened at 8am, the tow was there by 8:40 and they just called and let me know that the work was done. It is now 9:20am. All in all, not too bad, even for an inauspiscious day. I may be able to salvage something from this, but I'm not sure.

I guess we'll have to see.
