DadOf3 Traveling for Business - Blah!

This is a very strange day so far. DadOf3 and I were up at the "butt-crack" of dawn today, to quote a phrase DadOf3 liked to use pre-kids. Seriously, it was 4:30 when the alarm clock went off today. I am surprised that I am so wide awake 6 hours later. And I thought 6:00AM when I get the Princess up for school every day was early. Yikes! DadOf3 has to travel to a city about 3 hours away. We are lucky that he does not have to do this very often. It really is nice to have him working 8 minutes from home every day. I know that if ever there is a major crisis (which so far has been limited to the invasion of gigantic spiders and various other big bugs that this gal from Iowa has never had to deal with), he can be home in a matter of minutes. The Prince and the Knight are being pretty good today. The Prince was up before the Princess today. I don't know how in the world DadOf3 and I made a morning person, but we did. The Princess and the Knight will sleep until well after 8:00. The Prince is up at the first sound of movement downstairs. He told me last week that he heard me taking dishes out of the dishwasher so he had to come downstairs. Anyway, DadOf3 arrived safely. Now he has to endure a day of being on an expert panel anwering computer questions all day. He is going to be tired when he gets home and we will be very glad to see him.
