Nearly sleepwalking to open the back door for the dog, I forgot to turn off the alarm system. I’d never heard it go off before and it was a piercing scream, emanating from a box about 6 foot from the baby’s door.

I’m panicked, can’t remember the code to turn it off and I’m scrambling for the piece of paper the instructions were written on. Fortunately, I found them by the time the security company called and was able to tell them the “safe” code.

The kid slept through the whole thing… not waking up until almost 8. If I hadn’t had a video baby monitor to see her breathing, I’d have had to go in and wake her up to make sure she was OK.

BTW, I loved the video monitor. I’d put her to bed, get a glass of wine and sit on the front porch watching her go to sleep.

I love the pic of N vacuuming with her strapped on. Mr Hyphen used to wear Wynnie all the time. I loves me a man who wears a baby!

A friend of mine said the only way her baby would sleep at night was with a vacuum running under her crib. Then one night after about a year of running it every night, their vacuum cleaner made this horrible, moaning, whining sound of death. They grieved for the loss of their “dear friend” who helped everyone sleep that first year

If E needs you to run the vacuum more, you are welcome to do my house too (ha, ha!).
