Sleep?

I have been awake since 6:10 a.m. What do you do in house when everyone else is sleeping? I need to stay quite, so I'll just blog. I have been having problems with sleep this week. For the past year (since giving up caffeine after lunch - most days) I have taken great pride in my ability to sleep. Maybe, it's the excitement of Christmas. Maybe, it's the horrible diet I'm consuming. Whatever the reason, I need to sleep.

The funny thing about all this - If this was a work day for my, I would be begging for a few more minutes and prying my eyes open to stumble to the shower. Isn't it funny how that works??

Maybe, I'm just excited (nervous) about bringing the new addition of our family home today. His name in Bruno (I hope to change that) and he is a 9 month of American Bulldog/Boxer SPCA rescue. Bobby and the kids have fallen in love. I'm sure I will also. My only concern is Boomer. I sort of feel like I'm bringing a new baby home from the hospital. Will Boomer feel replaced and unloved? We have our happy routine in place and I am uneasy about changing it up.

-- Boomer always sleep with us - I'm not so sure about a 55 lb. dog.
-- Boomer feeds on demand. We have never had a scheduled meal time.
-- Boomer always gets the last few drops of milk from my cereal and Bobby's evening snack.
-- Boomer always rides with me to drop the kids at school every day.
-- Boomer scratches at the door to go potty.
-- Boomer was finally getting to go on vacation with us this year.

How will a new dog fit into all this? I'm sure everything will work out O.K.
