A weekend, with lack of sleep

This weekend I took a couple of days off. Technically I'm still on vacation though mostly today is house chores.

My father came up to visit partly for K's birthday and partly because my step-mom was off on one of her jaunts to see her kids in CA. My dad doesn't much like to fly and since he no longer has to, he doesn't. He drives or takes the train up and just hangs out. He's a very low-maintenance guest. He reads, plays with us or the kids, games on the computer, talks when he feels like it.

If I could have gotten enough sleep... oh ANY night, this would've been a great weekend. Even so, it was good.
( My elder son celebrated his 8th birthday )

( My dad has magical powers, and lots of family stories. )

( No sleep sucks, but Mexican food good )

( Reclaiming a day and decrufting. My relatives do good deeds. )

( There was a street faire, of sorts )

I figured the combination of manual labor plus a couple hours walking around might tire me enough, but no. I was asleep before midnight and woke up the first time around 5AM. I dozed off and on until 6:30. I'd like to spend today napping except I know it'd mess up my sleep even more tonight and I've got chores to do anyway.
