I'm Not Green

For some reason throughout my life whenever I would be exhausted and not get enough sleep my father would tell me that I look GREEN.  I just looked it up, and it was interesting of the variety of ways to use it.  My definition was in the adjectives towards the bottom, number 11.

I finally feel like I have gotten some good, deep, reviving sleep.  My baby woke up once because his pacifier fell out, I ate a lot of watermelon late into the night so it was a good opportunity to use the restroom, and then nobody else woke up, and nobody else woke me up once they woke up - WOW - the timing of pleasures in life.  My daughter later in the day started complaining of a tummy ache, she still ate dinner, and then went to sleep early last night.  My son finally decided it was dark enough outside and he was ready. Baby took a late nap, so we kept him up late with us, which I think was a good idea with good results.
