Waiting for Mike

Mike had to go to Pierre, the South Dakota state capitol today. The weather has been very rainy and windy, and he is about 30 minutes later than I would have expected. It is so easy to worry that something has gone wrong and that he is somewhere hurting or cold. While the rational part of me knows that if something were to happen to him, I would get a phone call telling me to come to the hospital, I still worry. Its weird that love makes you feel both the most wonderful and the most horrible things in the world.

Bubba sounds so happy when he wakes up. He babbles and squeaks and coos and sometimes grunts in the most adorable possible way. There is only one real problem with this. He often starts between 5:30 and 6:00am. This poses quite the dilemma; do I get up and enjoy my happy baby? Or do I sleep as best I can right through it? Mixed Blessing.
