Late Night, Early Morning.

My eyes are burning as I try to find something quiet to do on the computer to tantalize my boredom pangs at 3 a.m. It's not like I do anything noisy on the computer at wee hours of the morning (yawn), but I can't clang dishes or flip lights on while everyone is sleeping. Wondering why I'm awake? Lets blame that on the guy that built our house who was obviously thinking that he was still in California at the time of construction.

The pipes in our home are in the attic like that of a home in California. Yes there is a little insulation, but there's only so much that insulation can do when it's -11 outside. Yep, it's cold! This freezing weather has hubby and me switching shifts at night to feed our wood stoves and check on dripping faucets. We have both of our stoves going, bathroom faucets dripping and portable heaters in the attic, bathroom and in Katelynn's unfinished room.

Ryan stayed up till 3, and is now in bed. I went to bed at 9, and got up at 3 with a not-so-jolly attitude. Usually I'm not so bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at hours like this. Props to my husband for being able to be up so late...or early...or whatever because I couldn't do it. I am definitely the opposite of a night owl. What would you call that? I believe the term would be, Granny, though I'm quite the young Granny I suppose.
