need...more....sleep....must....get....coffee

Sousaphone Boy ... ahem, Man... was successfully deposited back at the school by his bandtrip tourbus at 3-ish AM. He was lovely, having slept the entire trip. I on the other hand was beleaguered by his little brothers doing their best crabby codger impressions from 2:30-nearly-5-ish.

(We're cold, we're hot, we're starving, we want cereal, we want chocolate milk, cook us some muffins, we're not sleepy, can we watch a movie? Can't we just go in the building? Why is the door locked, we're waiting! Can I have a wiener when we get home? We're cold, we're starving, when's he gonna get here?)

Then, thanks to the blessing that is Skype, I was able to watch my man-in-a-fishbowl for what seemed like hours, smile dreamily into his digital eyes and peacefully nap with him virtually sitting right there, working on his fantasy football. Life is good. I did not get sufficient sleep last night, but I had a great time.

Doesn't the kid have a cell phone to call you for a ride?

Love skype. It's the only way I can get my college kid to "call" me! I'm hoping the fun of that doesn't wear off anytime soon.

Well, he has a phone, and I texted him to call me when they got into town, but didn't get an answer so I figured he was fast asleep. Then since the band director sent a note home that said they'd get back around 2:30 I left the house around 2:45 thinking they'd be late. So at abot 3-something they finally showed up. By then the little dudes were all wound up.

Fantasy football ... the things we do when we can do what we want, eh?
