Day 2013. This morning we had to get up early. Tammy had stayed in her own bed last night. Sammy was up early, as always, then waking up his brother. Tammy can sleep even with them making noise. Daddy then got up to make breakfast, then I also got up, and just after 8 am we left the house together.

Day 2012. It was our 10-year anniversary, and so I got up early and set up the lamp with our picture and wedding date in the kitchen, where Randy would see it, when he got home. Then I lay back down in bed. Later Randy thanked me for the lamp; for the first time in 10 years he had forgotten our anniversary, but I didn't mind.

Day 2011. This morning the alarm went off at 6:30, and Randy got up to make breakfast. He normally gets up at 7 for that. At 7:15 am I got up. It had taken me over an hour to fall asleep last night, and once again Tammy never came to our bed, only Emmy in the early morning hours.
