I've been caught in the Wright County Triangle - a mystifying zone defined by three points: The Outpost, The Cabin, and Target. I haven't been able to stray beyond the boundaries for several days now. Someone will eventually find my Trailblazer on the side of Highway 55 in Buffalo...loaded to the brim with kitchen floor mats, household cleaners, bathroom towels, and, no doubt, our skeletons.
I can't wait until I walk into that cabin one day and don't have to start a list.
Last night marked our official first sleep-over night at the cabin. Perhaps I should say stay-over night. There wasn't much sleep involved. The boys share a room and a queen-size bed. The Senator stole the covers and The Governor awoke several times complaining of being cold. The Senator also laughs in his sleep, which annoyed The Gov almost more than the loss of the blanket. Then the storm started, and Hoocher decided to make several attempts to join someone...anyone...in bed. After being banished from our room, he jumped up on the boys bed. And woke up The Governor.
Remove dog, blockade doorways, rock Governor, back to bed. For about half an hour. The Governor is fussing; he needs a tissue. Fetch tissue. Forget to block door. Oportunistic dog takes advantage of my weakened state and launches back onto the boys' bed once I'm tucked into mine. #@!%
About 5 am I put The Gov in my bed and went to sleep with The Senator. And the dog. I got the laugh track for about an hour, and then all was finally silent.
We were going to have a big bacon and eggs breakfast to celebrate our first wake-up at the Cabin, but I opted for left-over blueberry muffins and doughnuts. I would have fed them Hershey chocolate bars and Kool-Aid if they'd asked for it.
And I think The VP wants to try staying over again tonight.
Send help.
