4 A.M. Is For The Birds!

We had Darby's EEG today. You know, the sleep-deprived one? The deliriously, over-exhasted and brain fried one? I can now tell you that Best Buy is open until 9 p.m., the bowling alleys close somewhere around 9 (I love when you walk in and it's 8:30 and they tell you can bowl for 45 more minutes - uh, no thanks), Sonic although open all hours of the night closes it's carhop service at some point before 10, and Barnes & Noble, oh glorious Barnes & Noble, is open until 11. It's hard to find things to do until midnight, with a minor, on St. Patricks day, but, we survived. I thought getting up at 4 this morning would go over as well as 5-year-old shots, but with some coaxing and a warm bath waiting, it went very smoothly. Thankfully, Scott's dad's restaurant opens at 6 a.m., so we were able to go there this morning and hang out and have breakfast. We also bribed her with a trip to Wal-mart and one free toy. So, after 2 HOURS of walking around looking at everything at 7 a.m., she settled on a Hannah Montana play set (on sale, even!)

The whole test thing went really, really well. Darby laid very still and was cooperative with the tech. I wondered how she'd do being so tired, but she did great! She fell asleep very quickly and at one point we were supposed to wake her but keep her eyes closed. Yeah, right. We will hopefully know by the end of this week what, if anything, it showed.

So, needless to say we are all on our way to bed in a few minutes. Thankfully, it's Spring Break and I'm home with the kids all week. Maybe we'll recover over the next few days!

By the way, thank you Aunt Nikki for the phone call this morning! The look on her face was priceless! :)
